Family Ministries Department
Mike Read – Children’s Pastor
Sunday School: 9:15-10:15 a.m.
We offer a FUNtastic educational program for children from preschoolers through to our Club 56 class for our Grade 5 & 6’s. Queensway Cathedral is blessed with a team of dedicated and loving teachers who care so much for the children they minister to each week. Using everything from flannel graphs, drama, audio/visual presentations and computer programs, they teach life changing lessons from God’s Word. Since the classes are divided into age appropriate groups, children are able to interact and participate in discussions with their peers and learn how to apply these lessons to their everyday situations. Children are also encouraged to support Missionaries around the world and are involved in several Outreach Projects.
Super Church- 10:30 a.m.
Every Sunday we minister to over 200 children from infants to Gr. 6. Children join with their families for worship in the morning service before heading to their own chapel areas.
Our Preschool – Sr. Kindergarteners meet in Room 103. We have dynamic ministry teams made up of families, adults and youth, who share together as they lead these children in learning about God. Games, crafts, songs, Bible stories, and more all add up to an action packed educational experience.
Grades 1-5 meet in the Fellowship Hall for their own SUPER SERVICE. Using drama, audio/visual presentations, puppetry, music, and activity sheets, our Children Pastors and ministry teams encourage them to deepen their relationship with God and to share their faith with others. They are encouraged to pray for each other, for Missionaries, and for those who do not yet have a personal relationship with God.
Sunday Evening
Our evening Super Church is unique in its format in that we have a more “hands on learning” style. Children from preschool – Gr. 5 meet in Room 101 and are encouraged to participate in active learning. Drama and role play are used to act out the Bible lesson. Crafts, games and action songs are used to reinforce the lesson theme. Opportunities to learn puppetry skills, drama, and visual arts are featured regularly. Throughout the year, we expand our program to join with the Alpha Program. So come on out for a time that is both physically and spiritually edifying.
Adventure Club: Wednesdays, 6:45-8:30 p.m.
Adventure Club is our midweek ministry program for children from Jr. Kindergarten – Gr. 6. This program features an organizational format of team competitions, age graded class times and large group open sessions. Each week we have gym activities and sporting events. A special feature is the craft activities that can range from decorative art pieces to edible goodies from the kitchen. As well, this program encourages the children to invite their friends to join in on the fun activities and to learn about God for themselves.
Mommy & Me: Thursdays 9:30 a.m. – noon.
Each week, mothers along with their newborns, infants and preschoolers meet together in the nursery for a time of interaction, fun and mutual support. Children are given supervised care as the Moms have a time apart for devotionals and group discussions on topics pertinent to their needs. Often, the time spent over a coffee and cookie has helped many a mother to refresh themselves in God’s presence and to be encouraged in their role as a nurturing caregiver to their families.
