Your children have a place at Knollwood

Children are precious to us at Knollwood, where our children’s ministry seeks to inspire in them a passion for Jesus Christ through Scripture, and to empower families for spiritual growth.

We focus on children’s fellowship, service, worship, and a deepening knowledge of and relationship with Jesus, together with providing support for parents and families.
Regular weekly opportunities and special events are designed to work together to help us meet these goals.

Sunday morning

The centerpiece of our Christian education for children on Sundays is through Sunday School where we focus on biblical foundations, fellowship, and service.

For worship, we provide:
  • Worship care for infants through four-year-olds.
  • Children’s Worship for kindergarten through third graders on the first, third, and fifth Sundays. Children depart from regular worship during the second hymn.
  • Worship bags and children’s activities, available in the narthex before the service.
  • Growing opportunities for children to participate in worship throughout the year.
