Children

Sweetwater Community Church currently has "all family services", where children worship with their family during the  service for at least part or all of the service.  We believe children learn best who Jesus is by participating in the service as well as observing their family and faith community worship. Watching their parents and others participate in worship, see baptisms, receive communion as a family, and develop relationships with all generations of worshippers is significant for the soul formation of children and benefits the entire church.  Children of all ages are encouraged to participate in the service through welcoming people, praying, or using their gifts to sing or play with our worship team.  Children are given the opportunity to join our "Kids Church", which takes place part way through the service.  Kids sign-up is located in the church foyer Sunday mornings.

God created parents as the primary people responsible for the soul care and formation of their children. Sweetwater Church knows that parenting in an ever increasing technological society amid ‘experts” who give you multiple ‘how tos’ of the right way to raise you children can be overwhelming and at times anxiety ridden. It is our desire to strengthen your family by to equipping YOU as the parent. YOU have been given your child(ren) by the One who knew you alone could best meet their needs and help them develop into who God created them to be.  We want to make you the expert in conjunction with Jesus is telling you to do and be.  Throughout the year whether your child is two or fifty, we will support you in your role as mom, dad, grandparent or any other ‘title’ you carry while impacting a child.  Stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to strengthen you parenting skills as well as your families of all ages.

Sweetwater uses child development principles to encourage children to grow in the way Jesus created them. Soul formation for children integrates a hands on, experiential approach. It includes children being a vibrant part of the church as a whole where children are active participants in the body of Christ, learning from a young age they are ‘fearfully and wonderful made’ and ‘were created to do good works’ for the sake of the Kingdom.  Children will learn who Jesus is as they encounter Him in their interactions with others in the church.  The primary goal of Sweetwater Church children’s ministry is for children to develop a relationship with Jesus as their Savior. One that gives them foundational Biblical truths and teaches them to navigate the Word and “rightly know” what Jesus is saying to them! All of this  in THEIR church where they quickly learn people in the church genuinely care, know and invest in them.
