Children's Ministry in Nashville, TN

Pike Kids

God is equipping all of us as a church family to build the faith foundation of his children through our Pike Kids Ministry. Our Bible classes are a warm and safe place for children from birth through 6th grade to experience the truth in God’s word. They learn how to read and study their Bibles.

As part of this family, Pike Kids learn not only about ministry, but how to be ministers themselves. We teach “faith in action,” service, becoming peacemakers, befriending the outcast, accountability, encouragement, and more. Special events allow a multi-generational congregation to shower its young people with God’s love and be “family.” Children who are a part of the “Pike Kids'' find friends with whom they can share life. Most importantly, they find a best friend in Jesus, the One with whom they can share eternity.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”” The wisemen finally found the manger! What a journey it has been. Your last chance to see them before they head back east will be this morning at the check-in desk. We hope you are surrounded by friends and family today, and we pray that we will all remember what this holiday is all about. Merry Christmas to all of you!
