new promotion policy

The Children’s Ministry has a brand new promotion policy effective July 1. With this new policy, children will be promoted to the next class, or United Student Ministries, in two separate groups. 


Promotions will take place during the first scheduled service in January and July of each year. 


Children born January 1 to June 30 will be promoted during the first scheduled service in July.  For children entering into United Student Ministries, there will be an orientation scheduled during the month of June.


Children born July 1 to December 31 will be promoted during the first scheduled service in January. For children entering into United Student Ministries, there will be an orientation scheduled during the month of December.


Here’s how the classes are currently organized:
• Nursery (birth - age 2)

• Toddler (ages 2 - 3)

• Preschool (ages 4 - 5) *

       *Please note that any child entering preschool must be potty trained.

• Zone (ages 6 - 11)

• United Student Ministries (ages 12 - 18) 




Exceptions to this policy will be handled on a case by case basis. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Michael or Elisabeth Marks.
