Welcome to Searcy First Methodist Church's Children's Ministries! Our programs strive to make each child feel welcome, nurtured, and loved. At Searcy First we believe God has called us to “GLORIFY God, GROW in full devotion to Jesus Christ, and CONNECT the unconnected” and we have a place for you and your family at here. We have several opportunities for your children!
-Bright Nights is a program offered during the school year for kids in K-3rd grade. This engaging program gives children an opportunity to learn Bible lessons, make crafts, play games, participate in service projects, and enjoy music. We meet on Wednesdays from 6-7:15 pm. 1st-6th graders are invited to join Amy Tate from 5:30-6:00 pm for a fun music class (after music, those wishing to stay for Bright Nights will be walked to the Children/Youth building by an adult). Melissa Perry will lead Music Class for Pre-k-K students.
-Bible Study for 4th-5th graders will meet from 6-7:15 on Wednesday Nights during the school year.
-We offer Sunday School classes from infants to 5th grade (6th graders are now joining Youth SS). These classes are lead by amazing teachers who have dedicated their Sunday mornings to make sure these kids have the best Sunday School experience. Sunday School classes meet from 10 a.m. - 10:50 a.m. every Sunday.
-6th Grade/Confirmation Ministry:
Our 6th grade classes are very important to us! Beginning in the fall they launch into a yearlong confirmation process. Confirmation preparation (Confirmation) is a formal process with a class or group leading to the ritual of confirmation for those who wish to receive it and are deemed ready by the pastors. The middle school years are a time when young people begin to move from concrete thinking to abstract thinking and many begin to make lifelong faith decisions. During these middle school years youth are seeking a sense of belonging. Belonging to the community of faith is an appropriate response to that developmental task. We believe that around the 6th grade is an appropriate time to consider this task. Confirmation preparation takes place over the school year with our pastors joining in at different times by delivering lessons, meeting with the confirmands individually, and attending confirmation retreat. It is a great time of learning and relationship building culminating with Confirmation Sunday! For more information contact our Children's Director, Kiki Capps, at 501-268-5896; [email protected]
