EarlyLife

EarlyLife strives to provide a robust selection of programming for children and their adults aged 0-5 yrs old and is available on Sunday mornings during the 9:00am and 10:30am worship services. These programs helps families grow together in their love for each other and in their love for Jesus.

Please contact Sara Haley, our EarlyLife director, if you have questions about our programs for 0-5 years old!

KidLife

KidLife is the children’s ministry of Springfield First for students in kindergarten – 5th grade, and is available on Sunday mornings during the 9:00am and 10:30am worship services. Students begin each Sunday together in the CLC, joining the larger church in worship. After worship, students return to their classroom for an age-appropriate bible lesson, hands-on activities, and fun!

We work to accommodate the needs of all children, believing we are in partnership with parents and caregivers to help children grow in their faith. We subscribe to the Wonder Ink philosophy, which teaches each child: “God knows me. Jesus loves me. The Holy Spirit leads me. I am a child of God.”

Children can be checked in near the door by the playground.

If you have questions about KidLife, contact Kelsie Fairfull, our KidLife director.

Love

At Springfield First, we love kids! That is why our KidLife ministry is dedicated to making each service a time that kids know they are loved and accepted.

Faith

During KidLife, we encourage faith through Bible stories, exciting worship, and active service. The goal is to make disciples who recognize Jesus as their friend and who love God and others.

Family

We subscribe to the Wonder Ink ministry curriculum that provides gospel-centered lessons and resources for engaging children, families, and volunteers in faith formation.

Community

KidLife helps connect kids and families to the church and one another, so no one walks through life alone. We create community during activities, events, and connection opportunities.
