The Boro Children's Ministry
We regard ministry to children as an entrustment and partnership between the church and home. Parents are the primary influence in their children’s lives, and our children’s ministry exists to come alongside parents in their child’s spiritual growth. As kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them. We offer age-based small groups that follow how God designed children to learn. Our aim is that every child will come to know God, trust Him and obey His commands (Psalm 78:5-7).

General Information
Boro comes from the Old English for burh,meaning “fortified place.” This is a fitting name for ministry to kids, as we seek to be a place where our kids’ faith is strengthened and reinforced. We want to cover and protect our children with the love and truth of God, just as a castle is a strong, safe place where the inhabitants are protected from the enemy. This is why we have chosen a castle as our Boro logo!
When you and your family arrive, our “Boro” greeters will walk you through a simple check-in process where your children will receive a name tag, and you will receive a matching numbered tag. Present this tag at check-out when picking up your child/children.
Although the check-in process isn’t difficult, we do recommend coming about ten minutes early to give you plenty of time to get your children to their classes and allow you to get to the worship service on time.
Yes! The Boro is a safe, loving environment. Each volunteer goes through a training process, and all adults complete a background check. We have Safety Team volunteers stationed at our entrances and exits, ensuring that only those with a parent security tag enter the Boro area. No one is permitted to pick up a child without a security tag that matches the child’s individual security number.
You will be notified by your check-in security code projected along the base of the large screen located at the front of the auditorium.
We use The Gospel Project curriculum for all ages in the Boro. The Gospel Project is a Christ-centered, chronological, Bible curriculum that traces the Gospel through all parts of scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Over the course of three years, children learn to see Jesus in all parts of scripture, and they learn how the Bible fits together to tell one complete story of God’s plan to rescue and redeem sinners through faith in Jesus Christ.
All children are welcome in the Boro! If your child has a special need, please reach out to our Children’s Ministry Pastor, Melissa Riggs, who will work with you and your family to ensure that you and your child have a positive experience.
