And the construction begins!

A few weeks ago our church approved renovation plans for our Children's Ministry space. The intent of the Children's Ministry Renovation is to create a space that is inviting, welcoming, age appropriate for all our children (birth - 4th grade), and a place where all of our children's programs can be in.

The Children's Ministry Renovation is to be completed in several phases. Phase 1 of the renovation is to create a themed space in the hallways that is exciting, welcoming, and teaches our children about God. Our Children's Ministry space will have two themes: Kids Quest Creation Zone and Kids Quest Downtown. In Kids Quest Creation Zone our younger children will see trees, flowers, clouds, butterflies, ladybugs, land animals, and sea creatures - - all the things that God created! Here kids will learn that God created the world & God created me; God loves the world and God loves me!

In Kids Quest Downtown our older children will see that they are a part of a community. Christ calls us to not only follow him, but to also be a part of our faith community so we can share Christ's love to the world around us! Kids Quest Downtown will show the kids that they are a part of God's community and play a special role in that community.

Phase 1 of the renovation began today! It was exciting seeing the construction team prep the walls to be ready for mural painting that will happen in the weeks to come. Below are a few pictures of the construction happening!
