"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
COOSkidz is the Children Ministry from Church of Our Saviour and we have fun programmes for ages birth to 12 years old, including individuals with special needs under the programme of SUNSHINEkidz and SUNSHINE Club. We meet every weekend, except the first weekend of each month. We want to steer, impart and inculcate godly values and biblical principles into the next generation of God-chasers and to expose them to community services and evangelism so that they will become faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our programme for the Prenursery stems from the belief that building Biblical foundation should start from birth and parents are encouraged to join in the sessions so that intentional discipleship can take place. Our team of dedicated teachers will engage both babies and parents through a customised curriculum that seeks to teach about God and His truth in fun and creative ways. The curriculum will explore themes that are important and foundational for the babies to begin their faith journey as followers of Christ. Each programme is 30 minutes long.
Children learn through play. For the Preschool programme, our team of fun-loving teachers are committed to nurture the children through various games, object lessons, story-telling and hands-on activities. We want the children to learn about God and His truth in a fun and meaningful way. Through the different ways of teachings, we hope to impress the hearts and minds of the children towards loving God and honouring Him. We want to impart godly values and encourage them to commit themselves to the basic spiritual disciplines of reading the Bible, praying and worshipping God.
Children see. Children do. For the Junior programme, we want to instill great attitude and good character for their growth as followers of Christ. Through the different ways of teaching, we want to motivate every child to spend time with God willingly and to seek to be more and more like Christ. Our team of dynamic teachers is more than willing to instill godly values and inculcate good spiritual habits to help the children grow in their faith, and be rooted in God’s truth. We hope to model for them to always have faith and trust in God through personal sharing of experiences and thanksgiving.
With the Preteens, we want to help them form a Biblical perspective of the world they are living in, to grow into the person after God’s own heart. Our team of passionate teachers are ever-ready to take on any questions or even doubts to help the children seek deeper truths about God. Besides having the head knowledge about God, we want to inspire them to take delight in God’s Word and cultivate a strong personal relationship with God. We hope that through the small group discussions facilitated by the teachers, the children are able to reflect deeply about God and His truth, cementing their faith and trust in the One who created them.
We believe that every child is loved and accepted by God, including individuals with special needs. Our team of loving teachers are dedicated to help every child with special needs to encounter God and experience His great love. We hope that they will cultivate a sense of security and belonging through the teachings of God and His truth, and through the friendships of teachers and other individuals with special needs.
