Children are a blessing from the Lord, and at Morris Community Church we treasure our young ones! Our ministries are different based upon the needs and capacity of the age of the child. In each area of children’s ministry, whatever the age, our vision is to show the children the love of God. Each group of children has their time during the service to hear a teaching and experience hands on activity to bring the lesson home to their hearts. Our desire and vision at MCC is to give the children a greater passion and desire to serve Christ and to grow in their faith.
All areas of Sunday morning children’s ministry meet after worship and announcements until approximately 11:30 when the sermon is finished. Each group has their own section of the commons area. Nursery has a section blocked off for the children to play. Kinder church, Super church, and Kingdom builders all meet at separate tables located in different areas of the Commons. Look for signs on the tables/walls.
