who we are
At the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of the Peninsula we seek to foster a lively Christian community experience for each child: a safe place where children can enjoy great learning and caring relationships. We believe learning God's Word should be inspiring, relevant and fun to the children of today. We endeavor to support each family in building a strong and lasting spiritual foundation that will, in God’s timing, lead to a child living a life in relationship with Jesus Christ.
Children’s ministries is about:
God
…welcoming each child into an experience of God’s love and grace
Being kids
…being uniquely made by God with special gifts for bringing glory to Him and serving others
Friendships
…creating enduring and supporting relationships as part of the church community
Growing in Jesus
…laying a solid spiritual foundation for a life of walking with Jesus Christ.

our programs
We offer age-appropriate programs that serve children from infancy through 5th grade.
The Infant and Toddler Nursery is a warm and bright environment where babies experience love and comfort and toddlers are free to explore and play. Parents can feel at ease while they participate in the service. The Ministry believes that even at this tender age, children are welcomed into an experience of God’s Holy Spirit.
The Preschool Programs provide fun learning experiences for children as they discover God’s love and grace. Children explore relationships and themes through a variety of activities, materials, and Biblical stories. Children participate in free play and also in directed large and small group activities. Volunteers are dedicated to providing a program that is nurturing, consistent, and predictable for children at this age.
KIDS Church is the elementary program at the Vineyard. After worshipping with the adults, the children gather for Bible teaching, discussion, prayer, and crafts. We strive to make each child’s experience in KIDS Church fun, relevant, and meaningful using a variety of teaching styles, activities, and materials.

We have an extensive screening and training process for our volunteers, a Wellness Program, and standard classroom procedures that we observe to provide stability and safety.
