During Missions, children in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades learn about missionaries and the countries where they serve.

bible drill

Wednesdays, 6:45-7:30 p.m. in room 240.4

Bible Drill, led by Joann and Bobby Haas, is a meaningful time for our older children (4th, 5th, or 6th grade) to prioritize scripture reading and memorization as they prepare for the youth group and the rest of their lives!

Preschool Ministry

At Cliff Temple, we believe a strong foundation for loving God and loving others can begin at an early age. Every child can be a missionary for Christ.

Our preschool ministry includes infants through kindergarten. We offer Sunday School classes for all children and childcare for infants-preschoolers during worship. When your child enters kindergarten, we help you introduce them to the worship service.

To create a loving, welcoming, and safe environment for your child, we carefully screen each volunteer who works with our children. We want church to be a place that supports your child’s spiritual, physical, mental, and social development.

For our nursing mothers, we have a nursing room located in our Preschool Hall and a new cry room at the back of the Temple (our main sanctuary).

Please label all bottles, bags, and pacifiers that you bring for your child. Occasionally items are not picked up, and this will help us return the item to you.

Children's Ministry

Knowing God’s great love for them, we want your child to be empowered to share that love with others. Through Sunday School participation and other events throughout the year—Family Easter Celebration, Family Christmas Celebration, Vacation Bible School, and Preteen Camp—we hope your child will be spiritually formed, engaged, and challenged to be an everyday missionary for Christ.

Our children’s ministry includes children in 1st through 5th grades. While your child is at church, we strive to provide a safe environment for him or her. We carefully screen each volunteer who works with our children. Supporting your child’s spiritual, physical, mental and social development is our top priority.

Preschoolers and elementary age children enjoy music, missions, and Bible teaching classes on Sundays and Wednesdays.


Check-In 

Please check your child in at a check-in kiosk when you are ready for your child to join our activities. Check-in begins 10 minutes before and ends 10 minutes after an activity starts. You may check in at the following places:

  • Sunday at the top of the stairs at the entrance to the new children’s area from 9:40 - 11:00 a.m.

  • Sunday at the hallway entrance to the Preschool Hall from 9:40 - 11:00 a.m.  

  • Wednesday at the entrance to the new children’s area from 5:45 - 6:15 p.m.

First-Time Guests:

You will be asked to fill out some information so we can learn about your child. There is a place for you to indicate who (in 6th grade and older) may pick up your child. After checking in, you will receive a Parent Sticker which you will use to pick up your child. If the Parent Sticker gets lost or a different person is picking up the child than who dropped off the child, we will check to be sure that the person picking up the child is on the list of people you authorized to pick up your child.

Check-Out

To check out your child, take your Parent Sticker to the following places:  

  • Sunday – your child’s classroom

  • Wednesday – your child’s classroom


Worship Care

We offer Worship Care, which is a time for children to play and review the day’s Bible lesson while you are at the morning worship service. Infants through preK are welcome to attend Worship Care, or they may attend the worship service with you. For parents of children who attend Worship Care, we ask that they help once every 7 - 8 weeks.
