Children at Northbrook  
Our Children's Ministry strives to nurture and provide each child with an educational, theological and mission oriented foundation for their life's journey in the Christian faith.
Acolyte Training:
We will hold an acolyte training session at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, October 3 for our fourth graders. We also want all acolytes to attend this session because Pastor Kirk wants to go over some new procedures. We will serve pizza for lunch in the Fellowship Hall first.

Our Elementary classes (K-4/5)are conducted using a “Workshop Rotation Model” that we call the “Holy Land Caravan” which consists of storytelling, art, cooking, games, and movies. This setup enables our kids to walk through Biblical themes or units in an interactive, multi-sensory setting. Classes meet downstairs in Building C. During the 11:00am hour on Sundays, our 5th graders benefit from a Bible study especially designed for pre-teens. They enjoy fellowship with their friends, grow in their faith and appreciation of the church.
