We believe that the reaching kids for Christ now can change the whole trajectory of their future. Here at Vancouver First Church of God, we strive to help elementary students feel welcome and desired by God. Our Sunday mornings are fast-paced, fun, and exciting for kids of many different learning styles. Our elementary program uses a curriculum called Tru that is all about spiritual formation. This formation helps kids build a life-long relationship with God. This means giving them a strong foundation in biblical knowledge and being intentional about creating space for kids to encounter the living God. Through the process of spiritual formation, we desire children to open their hearts to God, learn His voice, have a desire to obey Him, and to do so in the power the Holy Spirit offers to each believer.

The fast-paced nature of Tru means that kids will get to participate in an Anticipate activity that gives them a fun and active glimpse of what the lesson will be about, Worship, the Big God Story which are stories from the Bible that tell us about who God is, Large Group Response time which allows for kids to respond to the Big God story and listen to the Holy Spirit’s promptings, and a Small Group Response time in which they can be together with their own age group and grapple with the application of what they learned that morning.

Our elementary program is open to all students from 1st through 4th grade. There are programs available for older students as well (5th grade +) that you can read about on the STUDENTS page.

When you visit on a Sunday, please come to the Kids’ Check In kiosks located in Café Connection.  There you will be greeted by our friendly team of volunteers who can get your children securely checked in and escort you to their classes.
