Preschool Ministry

Children ages 2 to 5 in our preschool classes engage with their peers and leaders in a variety of age-appropriate learning activities specially designed to bring their Bible lessons to life!

Sunday Classes

Children stay in the same class all year, building strong bonds with caring teachers who love Jesus. New kids are welcome anytime!

Our Curriculum

We use a curriculum called The Gospel Project by Lifeway, which presents the Bible chronologically over a three-year cycle, showing kids how the whole Bible works together to tell a single story: God’s plan to redeem His people through His Son, Jesus Christ, compelling kids to join the mission of God.  All children ages two to sixth-grade study the same Bible story each week, so if you have kids in multiple grades, you can review, discuss and apply the same lessons in daily life with your family.

More About Preschool Ministry

  • Health, Safety and Security

    West Shore Free Church takes our responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for children very seriously. We have implemented a safety and security policy that protects children and reassures parents and includes:

    • An electronic check-in and sticker verification system for all childcare and classes
    • Background checks and an internal vetting process for all adult volunteers
    • Training for teenagers interested in serving as volunteer assistants
    • A health policy that asks parents to keep children with symptoms of illness home
    • Regular hand washing among leaders and children and disinfecting of classrooms and facilities
    • Bathrooms with child-sized toilets are connected to each room so children are never left unattended.
    • We seek to maintain a low teacher-to-child ratio of 5 to 1 in preschool

  • Help make Preschool Ministry Great
