Rosewood Childrens Ministries

Children and Worship
Children are important to the people of Rosewood. Worship is important to us too. To teach our children what worship is, a unique experience for children using creative visual materials is offered throught the school year for children ages three through the first grade. Children learn to open their minds to wondering about God's Word through crafts and creative teaching from the Bible using a variety of materials. The goal of Children and Worship is not to keep the kids busy while the adults worship in the Worship Center--this experience seeks to prepare children for participation in our regular worship services.

Puppet Ministry
Where would our children be without Elmer and the gang to lead them in both the silly and the sacred? The puppets are one of those long-standing ministries within our church....in fact, some members of our Leadership and Management Teams remember watching the puppets when they were kids! With a love of puns and the energy of foam products half their age, the puppets love to minister to our children and would love to welcome your kids too.

Infant Nursery/Toddler Nursery
Our nursery consists of two seperate rooms joined by a dutch door, allowing toddlers and infants to be kept safely apart. The activities in the Worship Center are broadcast into the nursery via closed circuit television. We tried it the other way around, but it just didn't work out.
We have a nursery staff of volunteers who are a blessing and they will take good care of your children while you worship in the Worship Center just a few steps away.

WOW! (Worship on Wednesdays!)
Get ready to worship with upbeat music, righteouss riddles, and wacky experiments with our own Professor Wow! Our Wednesday night program for elementary school kids gives kids their own worship experience in a fun setting with many incentives to bring their friends. Education As a church that strongly believes in the life-long education of its members, children, and guests, we offer a wide variety of educational opportunities to our congregation and community.

In addition to Lifelong Learning (Sunday School) and WOW (Worship on Wednesdays) class and events to the children of our community, Rosewood provides time for adults to learn in a smaller, more intimate setting than a typical worship service allows.

The content we use is fresh, exciting, and relevant. The high school classes, for example, are web-based. In addition, there are a variety of classes offered, including Bible study and extrabiblical study (networking classes, financial classes, etc) The offerings change, so be sure to email the church office to find out what is being offered now!
