First Look (Birth to Pre-K)


In preparing toddlers for our grade school environments, we begin with three simple, yet profoundly important “Anchor Points.”

  • God made me.  (Psalm 139: 13-14)
  • God loves me.  (Romans 8: 38-39)
  • Jesus wants to be my friend forever. (John 3:16)

Whether through worship, crafts, or while rocking in a nursery chair, every activity in our pre-school, toddler, and nursery environments is intentional and focused on reinforcing these truths.  Specific weekly lessons for 3 and 4 year olds begin the process of connecting these truths to Bible stories about characters like David, Jonathan, Ruth & Naomi, Saul, and Jesus and his disciples.

Parents receive monthly “Parent Talk” cards to facilitate the continuation of these conversations at home. Be sure to get yours!

Partnering With Parents

At Shannon Oaks Church, we are proud to be able to partner with parents as they lead their children into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.  Through SOCParents.com, we hope to provide you with the tools you need to take on that challenge.

Blog articles, videos, a subscription link to our weekly email containing the materials to continue the conversation with your child – These are only a few of the things you’ll find at the new SOCParents.com.  Enjoy and thank you for letting us partner with you!
