Nursery (Birth - Kindergarden)
The Children's Ministry of Highland provides a nursery program during Sunday School and Sunday Worship Services (8:45 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.). The purpose of our nursery program is to minister to families of small children. Our nurseries are staffed by paid and volunteer workers who want to share God's love with our children and their parents.  If you have questions about the nursery program, call Alecia Paschal, Director of Highland Learning Center  (910-485-2591). Children 2 and up are grouped according to their age as of October 15th.

Extended Church
Following the Children’s Sermon each Sunday, children ages 3 to 7 years are dismissed to Extended Church for Godly Play in the Highland Learning Center.

Acolytes for Worship
Starting in the second grade children may participate in the Worship Service by lighting the candles on the altar. This is a special opportunity for the children of our church to participate in the life of the church.

FUNdamentals of Worship
Changes are underway for our FUNdamentals of Worship class. Until we put the finishing touches on our plan, 2^nd graders will return to their seats with their parents after the Children’s Moment. Parents of 2^nd graders should look for information regarding FUNdamentals of Worship to arrive in your homes in early September. We think you’ll be pleased with the changes.

Children's Sermons
We believe that sermons are an essential part of the church's ministry, especially for children. Each Sunday, we invite the children to move forward to the Chancel steps for "their message." Our hope is that these are more than simple object lessons, but illustrate that God's love is exciting and real and that children have a significant part in the sharing of that love.

Cherub Choir - Wednesdays
We think there is nothing sweeter than little ones singing praises to God! Each Wednesday, Mrs. Connie meets with 3 and 4 year olds at 5:30pm  in the Children’s Choir room for Cherub Choir. The children learn songs that they will share in worship services throughout the year. Following Cherub Choir, the children are escorted to their SONday School class by their teachers.

Children’s Chimes - Wednesdays, 4:30-5:00pm
All children are invited to participate in playing choir chimes. Children’s chimes are designed to prepare children for ringing handbells and will help them learn basics of reading music. They ring occasionaly for worship and the Wednesday evening fellowship time.

Junior Bells - Wednesdays, 5:00pm - 5:30pm
This group teaches the basics of playing handbells and reading music, while having fun with games and projects. They play occasionally for worship and special events.
 

TrebleMakers - Wednesdays 5:45pm-7:00pm
All of the children of Highland, Kindergarten through 5th grade are invited to join the fun of singing with the Highland TrebleMakers! During the school year they rehearse in a carefully coordinated schedule of various activities as part of our Wednesday Night  program. The children sing regularly for the 11:00 Sunday Worship Services, special services and present a musical each spring.
TrebleMakers meet on Wednesdays for practice. 
 

Catechism -   Wednesdays
The Catechism program has a longstanding history here at Highland, and one of which we are quite proud! Fifth and sixth graders who haven’t already done so participate in this program that teaches the basics of our Christian beliefs and is an integral part of our Christian Education Curriculum. It prepares them as they move towards church membership and a profession of faith. This year, Catechism will meet on Wednesdays at 3:45pm-4:45pm.
