We desire to partner with parents to prepare students for a lifetime of walking with Jesus
LOVING OUR CHILDREN
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14).
At Three Rivers, we believe children are a vital part of our ministry and worshipping community, and that the life-long journey of faith begins and ends with the gospel. This means that children can comprehend the good news about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. We therefore build our children's ministry the same way we do our adult ministries ... centered around the gospel of Jesus Christ, and with His mission to the world as the central command.

3 year olds through Pre-K
This year Brenda Sheffield will be teaching 3-year-olds through pre-K.
1st - 3rd Grade
Amanda Gain and Joanna Baker will teach our 1st-3rd graders.
Both of these younger classes will continue to work through the children’s curriculum that is offered by the PCA—“The Biggest Story.” Visit crossway.org for a full overview of our curriculum and to order The Biggest Story Bible for your family. “The Biggest Story” podcast is a great lesson review for family discussion.
4th-5th Grade
We view our 4-6th grade class as a transition to help prepare students for youth group and ultimately for life as adults in the church. Here they dive deeper into topics such as prayer, what the Bible is and how to use it, the Church, justification, and the attributes of God. This year our 4-6th grade class will be co-taught by Amber Funderburk and Katrina Murphy. Students will work through a curriculum produced by Reformed Youth Ministry called Prayer 101. Students will learn the books of the Bible and practice navigating through their personal Bibles to find specific passages. They will also learn the structure and importance of personal and corporate prayer.
Youth Discipleship Classes (6th - 12th Grades)
This year Clayton Baker will be teaching and guiding our middle and high school students.
Our youth group is grades 6th-12th. In these years we seek to build on the foundation that has been laid in previous years. At times we will read, teach, and dig deeper into specific books of the Bible. At other times we will do topical studies or take a few weeks to examine Christian confessions and creeds to see what they say, what they mean, and what that means for us today.
