Here at ParkviewKids, our main focus is to train children and their families to love Jesus, serve others, and share His Good News. We strive to lay Biblical foundations on an age-appropriate level that will be able to be built upon in a child's future involvement with the Church. We teach our children that they are loved, valued, and important, because that's how God created them!
Nursery
We believe all children are capable of learning about Jesus, no matter what their age! Our nursery classes meet any time there are church events, mainly on Sunday mornings and evenings as well as Wednesday evenings.
Preschool
Our preschoolers are taught by some of the best teachers around! They have a genuine love for the little ones, and ensure that they are indeed learning about Jesus, not just playing the entire time (although we do make time to play!) Parkview also has a wonderful weekday education program called Promiseland Preschool.
Children
Our children's ministry is full of fun and friends, while also taking time to focus on Jesus and the plans he has for us. There are always new things happening at ParkviewKids, so be sure to check back in often!
5th/6th Grade
Being in the 5th and 6th grade is such a tough spot to be in. They are not ready for the youth, but they are also starting to feel they have "outgrown" the children's ministry. We (and the kids) love having this opportunity to be their own ministry sect of PVK. We allow them to have more privileges and opportunities that they might not receive in the younger age groups, while still keeping studies and activities at an age appropriate level. Our goal is to teach them to be great leaders within ParkviewKids, while also preparing them Biblically for their time ahead when they move into Fieldhouse Student Ministry.
Security
We value the safety and respect of our children as well as our parents. We use a system called KidCheck to check children in and out of our facilities in order to ensure they are picked up by the right people. If you do not have a KidCheck account, please take the time to create one. If you have used KidCheck at a previous church or facility, your account should still be accessible from our computers. This check-in process also allows us to document allergies, attendance, and other special needs that may arise.
