Lighthouse Kidz - the Children's Ministry of Lighthouse Fellowship

The Lighthouse Fellowship Children's Ministry is growing every week, and we offer several programs to help kids learn about Jesus in a way that they can relate to easily - and have fun doing it! Our goal is to provide more than childcare services, we engage children in lessons and other activities to teach them truth about God and His love. This page gives a general overview of the current activities and schedules available for the ages indicated. Please contact us at any time to learn more, or even better, come in and check us out!

Nursery Notes
We are equipped with nursery necessities to provide care for your children from birth to 3 years old. However, in order to make the experience comfortable for your child, please bring the following items: Diapers or pull-ups A spill-proof toddler cup or prepared bottle Bib, feeding utensils, and meal (if appropriate time) A change of clothing (accidents do happen) A favorite toy or nursery-safe item that comforts them We try our best to encourage potty-trainers to use the toilet, but parents should understand that the nursery setting may distract the child and he/she is likely to have an “accident” occasionally. Please help by having extra clothes handy. We do not store individual children’s items for future use due to limited space. Please, therefore, bring the above items each time you utilize our nursery services.
