Higher Ground, the Children’s Ministry of Harvest, is available for students from birth through fifth grade during our weekend service on Sundays at 9:30 AM. It is our desire to motivate children to CLIMB to Higher Ground during their years in our children's ministry. Higher Ground equips children to build spiritually healthy friendships in their Communities, challenges children to serve others with Love, teaches children to Imitate Christ, encourages children to Magnify the Lord in worship and prayer, and mobilizes children to Boldly go out with the Gospel.

                                        Our Values—C L I M B

• Communities—We want to help children establish spiritually healthy friendships. Acts 2:42: Fellowship
• Love—We want our children to be loved and to provide opportunities for our children to serve others in love. 1 John 4:7-8: Service
• Imitate—We want our children to be imitators of Christ as they are discipled from the Word. Ephesians 5:1: Discipleship

                                  Nursery and Early Childhood
Our Nursery is divided into two age groups:  Sleepers (birth until walking) and Leapers (walking through age 2 years).  RockSolid is our ministry for children age 3 through kindergarten.

                                           Grade School
BedRock is our grade school ministry for first through fifth grade. BedRock does not meet the fourth Sunday of each month in order to allow the elementary aged children to experience worship and teaching with their families.

PARENTS

In Higher Ground, it is our aim for the teaching received on the weekend to continue throughout the week. Our goal is to equip you with material for family devotions that flows out of our weekend lessons with your children.

Each week, your child will receive a take-home sheet specially tailored to that weekend's lesson.   The sheets given to BedRock students will include devotions for each day of the upcoming week.

It is our prayer that our Higher Ground families will participate in doing devotions together each day of the week.
