Sprouts

Messianic education is provided on Shabbat during the sermon. The Torah Time Sprouts goal is to teach children a rounded understanding of bible stories as well as begin to teach children how to apply biblical principles, like patience, to their daily lives. This class also prepares children to move from general bible themes to more specific ones in the Torah Time Saplings.

On Shabbat, this class is available for children 3 to 6 years old from approximately 11:15am to 12:00pm. The sprouts class is located on the lower level and is free and open to everyone while attending Shabbat Service.

During Torah Time Sprouts, the children focus on crafts, activities, and games that center around biblical principles and stories. Additionally, we  provide a parent-approved snack each week.

We use a combination of Orange curriculum and Messianic specific teachings carefully crafted by our staff for our Sprouts lessons. Orange Curriculum is gospel grounded teachings with the goal of anchoring the everyday faith of kids and teenagers to what Jesus said and did. You can learn more about Orange Curriculum here.

Sprouts Teachers are all background checked to create a safe environment for your children. All parents/guardians are asked to have one parent/guardian serve on behalf of their kids once a month in our children's ministry so you will likely have parents serving your children. Additionally, we provide youth the opportunity to serve in this ministry alongside the adult volunteers.
