Becoming a Jesus Follower, being transformed by the love of God and learning to live like Jesus, is a unique and amazing journey. Cool Spring supports families as we partner with parents in faith formation at home. This Journey Map has markers communicating age-appropriate understanding in your child’s faith journey.  We celebrate each milestone with you as your child chooses to become a follower of Jesus and be baptized.

Preschool

Child Dedication
Parents thank God for the precious gift of their child and commit to being spiritual leaders for their children. The church commits to walking alongside the family, supporting them as they seek to live out faith with their children.

Group Life
Learning and interacting with peers are essential for children to begin building relationships with other kids and families who share their commitment to living out faith.

Welcome to Kindergarten
Transitioning to kindergarten can be a scary, yet exciting time in a family’s life. We celebrate with kindergarten worship bags as the child begins attending big church with their family.

Elementary

Group Life
Within group life, children have spiritual conversations with peers and leaders as they begin a deeper understanding of faith in God while building lasting relationships with those in their group.

Family Worship
Parents lay a critical foundation as families worship and experience God together in “Big Church”.

Bible Ceremony
Parents present Bibles to their children celebrating God’s Word and emphasizing the importance of understanding God’s One Big Story of redemption and our part in His Story.
