Nursery (Infant-21+ months)

VineyardKids nursery is where our ministry to children begins at Vineyard Columbus. We want the babies to be brought to Jesus' lap the first time they are brought to one of our nurseries. Our nurseries are divided according to the age of your baby. Your child will experience supervised "free-play", songs and stories about Jesus, and individual prayer for the babies. For more information on the nursery, please call 614.259.5402.

The above program is available Saturday at 6pm, and Sunday at 9:15 and 11:30am. More information here.



Early Childhood (2 years- Kindergarten)
Pam White
Early Childhood Pastoral Assistant

Children in Early Childhood receive Bible teaching, the opportunity to worship Jesus, time for play and fellowship, prayer and, of course, a snack. Early childhood classes begin teaching the very basic concepts of God's love beginning with two-year-olds and expand to more complex concepts as they progress through kindergarten. They will learn the great stories of the Bible, memorize scripture, pray for one another and participate in worship. For more information about the early childhood program call 614.259.5375.

The above program is available Saturday at 6pm, and Sunday at 9:15 and 11:30am. More information here.

Kidz Quest (1st-5th grade)
Mike Szlapak
Grade School Pastor

Kidz Quest involves both large group and a small group aspect-reflecting both the worship and small groups ministries offered to the adults of our congregation. The children are in large group settings for worship and a lesson presentation (drama, story telling, puppetry, video, etc.), and are in small group settings with small group leaders for relationship building, accountability, prayer and discipleship. It is our desire topartner with parents in bringing children into relationship with Jesus and helping them to grow in their relationship with Him.
