Children

Open Minds, Full Hearts.

Note from the Director

Welcome

The Children’s Ministry at HIEC is a vibrant and meaningful space for children to learn about and experience God through games, activities, crafts, science experiments, music, liturgy, discussion, and prayer. Children in pre-K- 5th grade meet for Sunday school in our Children’s classroom wing from 9-10:00 AM. Nursery care is available and provided by paid staff during Sunday morning worship and Sunday school, and Children's Chapel meets during the 10:15 AM service, processing out at the gospel reading and returning after the sermon during the exchange of peace. On behalf of our entire children's ministry team, I am delighted to welcome your family on Sunday mornings and can't wait to connect! Email me with any questions anytime.

Children's Opportunities

Godly Play & Club 45

Sunday School | 9:00-10:05 AM 
Children’s Sunday School is a weekly time of Christian formation for children ages 4 years – 5th grade. Kids begin together in the large group classroom of the Children’s Wing for music and prayer and are then taken to their respective classrooms. Children in grades PreK-3rd grade participate in our Godly play program which is a Montessori approach to spiritual formation. Children in 4th and 5th grade participate in Club 45 which is a special place set aside for older elementary students to continue to explore their faith through story, imagination, and community.

Children's Music

Open to all elementary-aged children, regardless of musical ability, our choir meets every Sunday at 9:00 AM, seamlessly transitioning into Sunday School and coming together again during Children’s Chapel at the 10:15 AM service. Singing in the choir is a fantastic way to build community as our young singers work together toward a common goal, developing foundational music skills and confidence through performance. Every two months, our choir gets the exciting chance to lead the congregation in song, offering a unique leadership opportunity. Through music, children also learn about faith and the stories of the Bible in a lively and engaging way. At Holy Innocents, we welcome all children to join in the fun and become a vibrant part of our worship services!
