Preschool Ministry

We love our littlest ones at Wilcrest!

From our youngest babies to our growing toddlers, we strive to point them to Christ.

We want them to know that church is a fun, loving, and safe place to be.

Sunday School

Sunday Mornings, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.


Infants-2 yearsWe believe that every baby and toddler can experience God's love through an environment filled with prayer; a place where they hear foundational Bible stories, and simple truth statements by loving caregivers. We love our little ones and can't wait to start feeding their souls with God's love and truths.


PreschoolersChildren learn important teachings from God's Word through meaningful, hands-on activities, songs, and crafts. Our caring teachers help children develop a love for God and His Word. It is an exciting time for preschoolers & what greater joy than to share bible stories and truths with them that will impact their life in so many ways. 

Preschool AWANA

Wednesday Nights @ 6 - 7:30 p.m. 


Jesus' words "Let the little children come to me" rings loud with our preschool Awana classes and we couldn't be more excited for them to begin learning about our Lord & Savior! We have a Puggles club for those in the age group of 18 months to 2 years old and also Cubbies club for those 3-4 years of age. Our goal is for our little ones to begin learning about God through fun, age-appropriate teachings. They will sing, dance, memorize scripture, participate in crafts & hear bible stories throughout their classes.


AWANA is a wonderful program that helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children who are faithful followers of Jesus Christ. Let's build a solid foundation for our children so they may be raised in the Lord faithfully, see y'all there! 

Baby Dedication

Baby Dedication offers Christian parents the opportunity to dedicate their children as they publicly promise the Lord to do everything they can, while dependent upon Christ, to raise their children in a godly way. Parents present their child before God and the Church, asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Parents also come praying that their child might one day trust Jesus Christ as Savior for the forgiveness of sin. 


We look forward to walking with you during this special time in your spiritual journey with your child. We have two Baby Dedication services each year: one on Mother's Day, and one in December. Those who participate will also be a part of a Baby Dedication class prior to the service so that they may prayerfully prepare for this special service and the call of dedicating their children to the Lord. 

Vision of Discipleship

We believe the Lord has called us to be Gospel Families who enjoy and celebrate discipleship, worship, and missions in the home. Our preschool & children's ministry hopes to come alongside families and encourage them in this Gospel Family journey through prayer, discipleship, counsel, and simply sharing life. 


Jesus called them to him, saying, 'Let the children come to me, 

and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.' - Luke 18:16
