Parkway Christian Center offers a wide array of activities for Early Childhood and Elementary age children from weekly classes to vivid lessons and experiences. Our goal is to provide a well-balanced program to build practical Christian living into our children.

 At Parkway Christian Center we believe that a child is never too young to learn about the love of Jesus Christ.

Early Childhood - We have a wonderful nursery for children birth through 2 years of age that is open during regular services times on Sundays and Wednesdays, as well as a fabulous preschool wing for children 3 years old through 5 years old.  All of our workers, teachers and volunteers undergo background screening and personal interviews. Security is a high priority for our Children’s ministries.

Grades 1st Through 5th - We consider this group to be one of our most precious assets. Parkway Christian Center is focused on making significant investments into the lives of each and every child by teaching God's Word. All of our teachers and volunteers undergo a background screening and personal interview. Boys and girls are able to build safe, life lasting relationships with their teachers.

KidMo Features:

Front and central to the KIDMO curriculum is the Hyper-Teaching of JOHNNY ROGERS! A rising force in children’s ministry, JOHNNY reaches kids with innovative messages and engaging interactivity. His compelling application-based Bible lessons have already impacted tens of thousands of kids. The ultimate virtual teacher, JOHNNY delivers dynamic lessons with fun, fast paced humor.

With KIDMO’s proven learning techniques, your kids will learn and retain Bible verses like never before! MEMORY MAX utilizes hand motions, pneumonics and many other surprises. Your children will increase its scripture retention anywhere from 30% to 80%. Memory Max is so easy and effective, you’ll never look at scripture memory the same way again!

 After large group time, kids are engaged with the most personal and interactive approach—small groups. Each small group discusses three simple questions that help children apply God’s word into their everyday lives. After discussing these questions, the kids receive the Mission Action Plan or “MAP BOOK”. It’s a take home study guide that reinforces the principles of the teaching video. It contains practical examples of how to live out the lesson. Each child earns points by bringing back the completed MAP Book the following week signed by their parent or guardian. 

This lesson review time is such a blast your kids will eat it up like French-fried pistachios! The best part of all is the way in which each KWIZMO reinforces the lesson, Bible verse, and Compass Point. Competition based questions, quizzes, and challenges, make for a wild and zany time. Network quality production value and it’s so easy to use.

Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) was created and designed to help children develop a love for the Bible and an understanding that its truth can guide their lives daily. Junior Bible Quiz offers a fun, exciting way to motivate children to understand the all-important truths in God’s Word. Through cooperative learning, children work together on teams to learn and understand the questions and answers from the Bible Fact-Pak. Then using cooperative competition the children meet with other teams for a fun quizzing match. There are twenty questions in a match, with two teams of quizzers trying to beat each other to the buzzers to get the first shot at the answers. It has been said that JBQ is the fastest growing discipleship program in children’s ministry.
