Children’s Ministry

At Leighton, we believe that children are a gift from God.

We also believe that children should feel safe and protected while they are at church. That is why each person who is involved in Children’s Ministry attends a child protection class and undergoes a thorough background check. Children are an important part of our church family. Check out the ministries offered just for kids!

Nursery

Nursery services are available during the worship service for infant and children up to the age of 4 and during Sunday School for infants and toddlers up to age 2.

Children’s Message & Children’s Church

During the service, the kids have a special message just for them.  Kids gather on the stage for a special time of sharing exciting events happening in their lives.  Each week, a child is given the story sack to bring a special surprise to share the following week and hear how to apply it Biblically to their lives. After the Children’s Message, kids age 4 through 2nd Grade are dismissed to Children’s Church, where kids do crafts and have a Bible lesson.

Sunday School

Sunday School classes are available for all ages; for kids from age 2 on up through high school. Kids and teens dig into their Bibles each week to discover God’s love for them and the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through stories, real-life applications, Scripture memorization, and activities.

Kids  Worship

Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:00 p.m. from October thru March kids in Kindergarten through 5th Grade are invited to Kids Worship.  Kids will learn how to face the giants in their lives, just like David did with Goliath, through puppet shows, crafts, music, and Bible teaching.   There’s no cost to participate!

Vacation Bible School

Kids age 3 up through 6th Grade (entering in the fall) come together for a week of fun and excitement singing great worship music, making creative crafts, playing crazy games, and discovering the all-knowing, all-present God.  Vacation Bible School 2024 is Sunday, June 23rd-Thursday, June 27th 6:30-8:30 p.m..  The theme is: THE GREAT JUNGLE JOURNEY: AN EPIC CRUISE FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION. Sign up to volunteer here!  All volunteers must be regular attenders of Leighton Church for at least 6 months, attend a Child Protection Training Class and undergo a criminal background check.
