Covenant Presbyterian Church

2021 Children's Service

During the month of October, Children's Ministries will talk about our God of miracles and how he amazes us.

10:30 a.m. Children's Service will meet in-person at Covenant in the family room on Sunday mornings.

Join us in October as we get to know more about Elijah's ministry and the so many amazing things God does.

This month, we are going through the major events in the life of prophet Elijah, all of which are nothing short of amazing! Elijah's ministry took place during turbulent times for God's people - so much so that Elijah felt utterly alone at times. Sometimes he was literally alone. But God's presence and power with Elijah throughout those times is undeniable. Through these stories, kidswill discover how amazing it is that God takes care of us, God knows whats best for us, God speaks to us, and in all, God does SO MANY amazing things!

Please contact the children's director, Heidi Griffin or call, 719.598.0800 with any questions you may have, or if you are interested in volunteering. We are very excited to be meeting again whether it is in person or online!

Welcome to Children's Ministries at Covenant

This is a vibrant, creative, and fun place to be! Our goal, in partnership with families, is to nurture our children as they grow physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

OUR MISSION

providing a welcoming place where children experience God’s love and learn his word.
introducing children to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
teaching children about God’s big story and help them understand how they fit into it.
modeling prayer, worship, and Scripture reading as our way to communicate with God.
preparing children to live out their faith on a daily basis.
equipping staff, parents, and volunteers to work with children.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Each summer, Covenant hosts VBS - our biggest community event for children. This years theme was Treasured: Discovering You Are Priceless to God. Thank you for embarking on this epic quest through hidden ruins, ancient caves, and dense jungles, with us. At Treasured VBS, kids dug into action-packed, faith-filled adventures. They discovered God's greatest treasure isn't diamonds, gems, or gold - it's them! Vacation Bible School took place July 12-16. Join us for new adventures the summer of 2022!
