Preschool Ministry Event

Sunday, May 4 | 3 pm - 5 pm | Church Parking Lot

Please join us for an afternoon of fun with our preschoolers and parents. Bring you trikes, bikes, big wheels, etc to ride and play together. We will end the night with some preschool praise time and a treat for the entire family.

We know you are never too old for candy, or great fellowship and fun...that’s why Trunk or Treat is for everyone! We want all of our community to join us for this fun, family event! No matter your life stage, Trunk or Treat is a great event to experience—enjoy the magician (shows at 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm), inflatables for the kids, popcorn, candy and more. The kids love walking around to the decorated cars to collect their candy (and the adults may enjoy dressing up and handing out candy at their cars even more)!

AUGUST 4TH, 5-7 PM

For Kindergarteners and their Parents

If you have a child entering Kindergarten this fall, you and your family are invited to a special event. This will be an event designed to welcome your child into the Children's Ministry. The event will be Sunday, August. 4, 5 pm - 7 pm at the Mt Laurel Campus.

Cost is $20 per family and includes pizza and dessert. Childcare is available for siblings by reservation with Cindy Barksdale | cbarksdale@docc.org

In the past year our community has walked through losing both kids and adults to suicide. Parents and families want to be able to help those they love process these difficult and sensitive events. Even more they want to maintain regular dialogue to keep up with their loved ones’ health and help plant them deeply in their Gospel-shaped identity. We want our families to be firmly rooted in hope and strength through Jesus Christ so they can endure hurt and anxiety.

Join us February 10th from 9 am-noon at the Chelsea Campus as we are led by local licensed counselors who will prepare us for authentic conversations with our families that can equip them to respond to hopelessness, loneliness, and all sorts of pain with God’s love.

Tickets are $25 per family, and limited childcare is available for an additional $10 per family.

We know you are never too old for candy, or great fellowship and fun...that’s why Trunk or Treat is for everyone! No matter your life stage, Trunk or Treat is a great event to experience—enjoy the magician, inflatables for the kids, popcorn, candy and more. The kids love walking around to the decorated cars to collect their candy (and the adults may enjoy dressing up and handing out candy at their cars even more)! This annual faith family event is a great time for us to fellowship as a church with our community.

The spring musical is a highlight of the year for many families in our community. Children do not have to be members of our church to participate. Our doors are open to all children to come and be a part of presenting this wonderful musical!

Each year our Children's Musical is a full scale production with lights, choreography, drama, and lots of special effects! The musical provides opportunities for many children to have special parts. Kids can try out for solos, speaking parts or to be part of a choreography group. Only kids in Grades 2-5 are eligible to try out for a part, but everyone who participates will get to be part of the choir!

This year’s musical is “Kingdom Connection” by Christy Semsen. This musical takes place at The Kingdom Connection Museum, a place where the Bible comes to life!  It is an interactive museum, and as the kids walk through the museum, they meet various biblical kings, including King David and King Solomon, as well as less popular characters like King Herod and King Saul.  As we prepare for the musical, the kids will memorize scriptures and study the spiritual concepts taught in the songs.  It is our hope and prayer that each child who sings these songs will learn God’s truths displayed through the lives of these kings.
