Children's Ministry and Music
What programs does Reveille offer children from birth to 5th grade?
At Reveille, children from birth through 5th grade are welcomed into a safe, caring environment where they can have fun, make friends, and grow in God's love. On Sunday mornings at 9:30 am, children gather for age-appropriate Sunday school classes filled with engaging Bible lessons, hands-on activities, and caring teachers who help bring scripture to life. Children are welcome in all worship services, and we also offer nursery and child care staffed by background-checked, first aid-trained caregivers.
The fun continues on Sunday afternoons at 4:00 pm with Kids Connection, children's choir, and handbells. These programs give children opportunities to learn, create, worship, and serve while building lasting friendships and growing in their faith.
