Sunday Morning Programs


Children’s Church

During the 11:00 am. service each Sunday, we provide a special service for all children from age 4 through the 5th grade.  This service features Bible instruction, musical worship, video clips, activities, and more.

Children’s Sunday SchoolChildren's Ministry Cross
During the 9:30 am. service each Sunday, we offer age-graded Bible classes for children from ages 5 through 5th grade.

Nursery & Toddlers
Our nursery and toddler rooms are staffed by competent, caring adults and are open during both the 9:30 and 11:00 am. services each Sunday.

Cry Room
We offer a “cry room” adjacent to our worship center for parents and infants.  This is a perfect place to both watch the service and listen while nursing or tending to a fussing infant.

 

Sunday Afternoon & Weeknight Programs

Mission Possible Kids  (Grades 1-6)
MP Kids help change the world by participating in “hands-on” mission projects to benefit missioMP Kids Logons at home and abroad.  Kids are identified as “Secret Agents” and earn stars for their t-shirts for every mission they accomplish.  They achieve a new rank after every 6 missions.  Meetings are monthly and are listed in the Sunday worship program.


KidMax  (Grades K-5)

This is our signature community service/outreach program.  Each Wednesday during the school year, we provide a free after-school program for elementary aged children.  Kids are bused to the GWC campus from our neighborhood public school, Bertha Holt Elementary.  For 4 hours, staff and volunteers from our church provide supervision for fun activities, classes (such as cooking, arts& crafts, sewing), snacks, and games in our gym.  Parents may come anytime throughout the afternoon to pick-up their children.  While most of the students come from Holt School, all elementary-age kids are welcome to attend KidMax.  For more information, or to register your child, please contact the church office at 541-683-8213, or send an email to office@gardenway.net

 

Kids Night Out  (Grades K-5)
We hold this special event several times each year for both Garden Way families and families in the community.  Kids are dropped off by their parents from 6:00 – 8:15 pm. and enjoy activities in our gym, movies, and a pizza dinner under the supervision of staff and volunteers.  KNO meeting times will be listed in the Sunday worship program and the KidMax weekly parent newsletter.
