GLOW (God’s Love on Wednesdays)

GLOW is all about giving kids a place to grow their faith! We love to partner with parents to lead children to become fully devoted followers of Christ. GLOW does that through age-specific teaching, activities, and groups!

GLOW is Hope’s children's ministry discipleship pathway designed for kids from pre-kindergarten to 6th grade. GLOW takes place on Wednesday evenings, beginning with a meal for the whole family at 5:30pm, and focuses on teaching children about God's love through various engaging activities. Here are some key components and features of our GLOW ministry:

Biblical Teaching: The core of GLOW is Bible-based lessons that are age-appropriate. These lessons aim to instill foundational Christian values and knowledge about God, Jesus, and the Bible.

Interactive Activities: To make learning fun and memorable, GLOW incorporates interactive activities such as games, crafts, and music. These activities help reinforce the biblical lessons and keep the children engaged.

Worship Time: Music and singing are often integral parts of GLOW. Children participate in worship through songs that are easy to learn and enjoyable to sing. Once per month, we have a family-friendly, Contemporary worship service.

Parental Involvement: Parental involvement, either through take-home materials that allow parents to continue the conversation at home or through events that include the whole family is a part of GLOW.

Special Events: Throughout the year, GLOW hosts special events such as holiday celebrations, service projects, and community outreach activities. These events provide additional opportunities for children to experience and share God's love.

GLOW aims to create a fun, safe, and spiritually enriching environment where children can learn about God's love, build a strong foundation of faith, and form lasting friendships.
