The Rock - Children's Ministry

Our Goal

The Rock Logo

The goal of The Rock Children's Ministry is to make Sunday morning the best morning of the week for your child.

Our Mission

The Mission of Alameda's Children's Program, which includes our Nursery through Elementary Program, is to develop children who know God is their rock and Christ is their foundation. (Psalm 18:2; Matthew 16:18) 

Our Values

Eight values that aid in giving us direction for deciding how the ministry makes decisions are:

  1. God-Centered focus.  God and His Word are foremost.
  2. Child-Centered direction.  Leaders look through the eyes of a child to discover what they listen to, sing, play, and watch.
  3. Application Oriented to the lives of our kids.  We place great emphasis on ensuring that lessons presented apply to the lives of our kids.
  4. Safe.  The security of our children is critical.  In all activities we ask, "Are the children safe in what we are doing?"
  5. Fun.  We strive to provide a structured environment where our children have fun while learning about God.
  6. Relational environment.  Because relationships are essential to all of us, we want to nurture and build relationships between children and with adults.
  7. Creative methods of teaching.  Our teaching teams are encouraged to think outside the box.  They will use a variety of techniques to get the message across to our children.
  8. A sense of Belonging for each child.  Everyone craves a sense of belonging.  Our programs strive to meet the unique needs of each child in a loving and caring manner.
