Children's Welcome Center
We invite our first time guests to stop by the Children's Welcome Center, located at the entrance
to the Children's Wing on the lower level. While there, you and your child will be personally
greeted, asked to complete a registration form, and then be escorted to the appropriate classroom.
You will also receive information about our security system and general information about our Children's
Ministry.Your Child's Safety Is Important to Us
We make every effort to keep your child safe and secure. All of our
Heartland Elementary volunteers have had a national background check and
have gone through an application and screening process.
Sunday Mornings
We offer age-appropriate Worship and Bible Fellowship classes for children of all ages each
Sunday morning. Bible Fellowship classes are divided into grade levels and are taught by
teachers who are committed to building a relationship with each child while they help lead
them to a personal relationship with Jesus. We use music, drama, puppets, games, snacks and
other activities to teach Biblical truths and life applications to the children in their classes.
JaM (Jesus and Me)
JaM (Jesus and Me) sessions are our worship services designed specifically for elementary age children.
The music is exciting and relevant, the message is simple and meaningful, and the teaching methods are
creative and applicable. This interactive worship service for kids has all the basic elements of "big church"
with an infusion of energy and excitement that leave kids always wanting more.
KidzBeat
KidzBeat also meets during the school year from 6:00- 7:00 for elementary children.
Each week we use experiments, object lessons, games, music, drama and food to drive home the main
focus of the Bible lesson that was presented on Sunday morning in JaM and children's Bible fellowship classes.
