Bible Discovery Zone
Bible Discovery Zone is what we call Sunday School here at Stony Hills Church. It is a "Workshop Rotation Model" where repetition is the key. Children are taught the same Bible story over a 4 - 5 week period in a variety of ways: hands on activities such as crafts and baking; in drama, music, and video. Kids love it. Teachers love it. Everyone comes to learn that God is talking to each of us through his own Great Big Story.
Little Lambs Program
This program is for children who turned 3 years of age by September 1st and for 4 year olds. This is an exciting time for the children. They sing songs and make an art project to reinforce the Bible story that is read to them. We can always use additional teachers for this age group. If you feel called to assist with this wonderful ministry, please contact Kathy Kludt.
Children start out with their families in worship and then after a blessing go off to the BDZ!.
The Gate
The Gate—our Sunday evening youth group for 6th - 12th grades.
We meet for some fun, singing, and Bible study and discussion about “Being Disciples.” We plan some special times together, dinners, movies, maybe an over-niter somewhere far, far away in a distant galaxy. But mostly we work together to build relationships –with one another, with God and wrestle with what it means to live real life as disciples of Christ. And through the process we look deeply at what it means to become a member of the church. Call Pastor Bruce if you have any questions.
Adult/Child Mentoring Ministry
What would happen if we provided each child at Stony Hills Church with a mentor/prayer partner to support him/her from age 4 on? Do you think it would make a difference in the lives of those children? We believe such a commitment of adults to the spiritual wholeness of children is vital. The power of prayer is a gift that God has given to each one of us as is the invitation God has given us to actively take part in the spiritual growth of our children.
The Adult Pal Mentoring Ministry pairs Stony Hills’ adults and children or youth together to help them experience God’s incredible love and blessings through the actions and prayers of their Adult Pal as led by the Holy Spirit. An Adult Pal is someone personally committed to growing deeper in Christ and who is: Willing to nurture their pals Christian growth; desires to shepherd their pal towards making the most important decision of their life: accepting Christ as Lord and personal Savior; and will take an interest in their pal by getting to know him/her.
Some of the simple ways an Adult Pal may care: remember the child/youth on his/her birthday; send the child/youth a card on Christmas and other holidays; listen, encourage, seek out and warmly welcome the child at church; talk to the child about what he/she learned in Sunday school or at youth club; and PRAY, PRAY and PRAY for that child/youth!
Any member or regular attendee of Stony Hills Church can become an Adult Pal of a child or youth. We desire all of our children and youth to have Adult Pals – someone along with the child’s parent(s) who has a deep desire to care and pray. This ministry is simple to do but important. We strongly believe that this ministry will be a win-win situation for both the Adult Pal and the child/youth, as well as for the church as a whole.
Children's Worship Team
Team members prepare children's bulletins specific for age groups 4-6, 7-8, and 9-11 years old and present a children's message on every Family Worship Sunday (the first Sunday of the month).
Our purpose is to make the worship service more meaningful for our younger children. We welcome new members. No meetings! Lots of resource material! Loads of fun! Special service to our Stony Hills kids! Only once a month! Join us by contacting the church office.
