At SPLASH!, our highly-trained volunteers are known as Arrow Shapers. Each week gives them a chance to disciple, teach and pray for the children who come through their door.
We desire children to fully understand that although they are ordinary kids, they can do extraordinary things through God’s power. God does not wait for us to grow up to be used by Him in significant ways. We want our kids to discover and use their gifts and talents as they are growing in their faith, and begin to serve Him right now.

Dedications and Baptisms
Baby dedications are conducted four times a year (once a quarter). In infant dedication, water is not used and baptism is deferred until a personal profession of faith can be made. Click here to find out details about baby dedications.
If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you are welcome to be baptized as a public profession of your faith. We baptize by immersion in either our indoor or outdoor baptistry, depending on weather conditions. For infants and young children, we do dedications rather than baptisms. We do not believe that dedications or baptisms ensure salvation but that both are symbolic acts of great meaning.

SPARK (5th/6th grade Preteen Ministry)

*This ministry is currently unavailable due to COVID-19. 5 & 6th graders are invited to participate in Pursuit's Student Ministries on Wednesday nights at 6:30 in the Cowart Equipping Center.
Our preteen ministry (SPARK) is a ministry that has been developed specifically for our fifth and sixth graders. In addition to Sunday morning worship services that are unique to preteens, our SPARK students get to experience fellowship through outings and activities that are just for them.
Curriculum
Splash! Kids uses The Gospel Project curriculum to guide our lessons and activities each week. Parents can access what their children are learning from week to week through our social media posts and hand-outs given at the end of each service. We feel that the home to church connection is vital to the discipleship of young children. Children are given a take-home sheet that they earn a reward for completing at home with their parents
|
All children's ministry takes place in a safe and secure area, under the supervision of highly trained volunteers and staff members. Children are checked in and accounted for in our electronic database, and given a nametag to physically identify them. A parent or guardian must show a corresponding ID slip in order to claim their child(ren) following the service.
