Preschool Ministry
Shepherding and Loving Newborns through 4 year olds
Midweek
6-7PM
Midweek Preschool will be packed with a Bible story, scripture memory, life application, mission activities, and fun! Our desire is for preschoolers to know that Jesus loves them and indeed is their very best friend! In His great love for them, we want them to know that they can tell people about that great love. They can be a missionary! Contact Sarah for more information skent@shades.org
Our Programs
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS)
Join us in June for an unbelievable week of VBS from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. each day. VBS offers exciting lessons and applicable activities for children entering kindergarten and up.
PRESCHOOL FUN DAYS
Opportunities during the summer for families with preschoolers to enjoy fun activities together.

Parent Dedication is a ministry to the parents of newborns at Shades. The Parent Dedication service is a time of commitment for parents to raise their children to love Jesus, and for the Church to affirm its support of new families.
MISSION PROJECTS
Opportunities during the year for preschoolers and their families to be involved in missions, including Christmas Service Projects and our Global Impact Celebration (GIC), where preschoolers get to meet missionaries from around the world.
