CHILDREN

The Ark
The Ark is a place that gives children the opportunity to encounter the living God, for He values children.  Indeed, Jesus states in Matthew 11:25, "I praise you father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."

The Village Vineyard offers three children's classrooms on Sunday mornings, serving kids ages 6 months to 12 years old.

The Cozy Caterpillars - 6-24 Months
The babies/toddlers enjoy playing with the other kids and the children's helpers.  They also have snack, listen to worship music and even dance!  (located outside the main service area, on the far wall)

The Kangaroo Corner - 3-4 Year Olds
Creatively engage in games, crafts and participate in a short lesson to learn about the Bible and experience Jesus. (located outside the main service area)

The Panther Posse - Kindergarten through 5th grade
Learn about the Bible and experience Jesus through a lesson, crafts and games.  (meets in the entrance hall right after worship where a teacher will take them up to their classroom on the 1st floor)

The Salt Shakers - 12-18 year olds
The Village Vineyard Youth Group meets every Tuesday between 10am-12pm.  The group alternates teaching nights and 'fun' nights every other week.  Teaching nights consist of a Biblical lesson, talking and praying for one another, while a typical 'fun' night ranges from playing group sports or games, watching movies or going on outings.  The group is currently meeting at: The DeWitt's Home - 1157 Michigan Ave, Columbus, OH.  For more information please contact the group leader, Megan Balog:  ganag37@gmail.com
