Welcome to Cornerstone Kids of Lakewood Ranch! We are happy to invite you to Children's Church on Sunday mornings at 11am. As you scroll through our site, you will find lots of information on this very important ministry.  We are committed to walking alongside families as they are being shaped in the gospel of Jesus Christ. Cornerstone Kids is a safe, engaging environment where we partner with parents to help children discover that Jesus is at the center of God’s amazing story of salvation. Our desire is for Cornerstone to be a place where every child experiences God’s love and grace.



TEACHINGS
Our teachers read and study the Bible with the kids so that they can begin to understand how much God loves them, and how He has rescued them, His children. And we pray that the Holy Spirit will open the kids’ eyes to the wonder of God’s amazing grace. We would love for your children to come join us on Sunday morning, so that they too can see this beautiful picture.  

“It takes the whole Bible to tell this Story. And at the center of the Story, there is a baby. Every Story in the Bible whispers his name. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle – the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together, and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture.”  Sally Lloyd Jones

SAFETY
As a point of safety, every Cornerstone Kids volunteer goes through a background screening process and training before they begin serving. Our security doors are locked during Children's Church. We also have a security team in place to watch over your children while they are here along with a video security system throughout our children's wing.

TOURS

At Cornerstone, we liken caring for our infants in the church to an Olympic relay race. There has never been a team to win the gold medal who overlooked the importance of the first lap. Our nursery is the first lap! We introduce our kids (ages birth-3) to who God is through song, story, play and repetition.
Our hope is to establish a firm foundation for them to build upon as they move out of the nursery and into our Children's classrooms where they will continue to grow in their understanding of the gospel.  Most importantly though, we show them the love of God. They may not understand what it is we are teaching them just yet, but they do understand how we make them feel and each child will be known and valued. We believe it is never too early to teach our kids about who God is and what He has done for us and we look forward to sharing this good news with them!

The children will worship God through the Bible lessons, prayer, games, and music. The kids will memorize; scripture, creeds, and catechism questions and answers. The kids will also play interactive games and crafts to support what they are learning about. The younger children will have a dedicated time to play on the indoor or outdoor playgrounds.

We use the Great Commission Publication curriculum and the New City Catechism as our resources on Sunday morning as they are Biblically straightforward, doctrinally sound, and personal. In addition to Sunday mornings, we also have special programs throughout the year, the Easter Egg Hunt in the spring, VBS and Club 45 in the Summer, and a Kids Choir in the Fall. These events allow us to support our vision for kids to grow in their relationships with one another.
