The Bridge - Mayfair Preteen Ministry
Matt Flynn
Associate Children’s Minister
(256)881-4651
Welcome to “The Bridge,” a ministry that is specifically designed to reach the needs of an ever-changing 5th and 6th grader. These two years before middle school can be some of the most intimidating and overwhelming. Mayfair’s Preteen Ministry serves as a bridge from Children’s Ministry into Youth Ministry, providing a place that meets them where they are, with age-appropriate spiritual training and fellowship.
Along with this literal bridge, Mayfair’s Preteen Ministry also hopes to be a bridge into community. Preteens are growing and changing, searching for a place where they can belong. At The Bridge, we work to provide opportunities for these preteens to spark friendships and to begin the foundations of relationships that can last them a lifetime. We hope to provide a place where these preteens can laugh together and can grow together.
As a community, Mayfair’s Preteen Ministry hopes to serve as a bridge into exploration. In a time where these preteens are bombarded with questions of identity and faith, The Bridge seek to provide a loving and supportive environment where they are able to explore who they are and most importantly who it is that God longs for them to be. We pray that this ministry serves as a bridge into a life as a dedicated follower of Jesus who longs to seek and to serve Him!
Come join us at The Bridge!

Babies and Toddlers
You don’t have to read “Mayfair Loves Kids” signage in the hallway of the baby/toddler area to realize you’re entering a place where infants (ages 6 months - 2 years old) are truly treasured!
We believe we are building a foundation for life long faith development as we take your precious little ones into our Bible classes on Sunday and Wednesday.
A Children’s Information Desk at the entrance to the Baby/Toddler area will be manned by friendly volunteers who with the help of a computerized check in/check out system will direct you to your child’s classroom location.
Caring and trained adults welcome your child into a clean and inviting environment that is set up for experiencing with all the senses the presence of God and His love for them.

Children’s Worship
"Yes, Jesus replied. Haven’t you ever read the Scriptures? For they say, ‘You have taught children and infants to give you praise.’ “ Matthew 21:16
Mayfair feels there needs to be a safe place for children where they can experience worship in a setting where they sing songs, watch puppets and/or video, and hear a lesson that is targeted for their age level. Celebration Station is our Sunday morning children’s church program for Preschool 2’s, 4’s (Ages 2 - 5 year olds) and Elementary K - 2nd Grade. Children join their families for the beginning of worship in our worship center but are directed at the appropriate time to gathering rooms on our first (Preschool) and second (Elementary) floors of the Children’s Ministry Wing. Safe and quick check in for Celebration Station is available at the entrance to both areas at our two Children’s Information Desks.
On Sunday nights during worship, Kids Praise is in high gear! Kids Praise is a high energy time for preschool (Ages 2-5) and elementary (Grades 1 - 5 plus a special Kindergarten class!) children. Guest families come directly to the designated Kids Praise rooms on our first and second floor gathering room areas and check in and out their children. Learning centers, video, small group break out time, puppets, and of course singing or praise time offered to God are just some of the components that make Kids Praise a big reason kids want to return every Sunday night. Our Children’s Chorus (Grades 3 - 5) kicks into session during the Fall/Winter months as a special feature during Kids Praise.
Elementary
As you and your children enter our elementary area on the second floor hallway of our Children’s Ministry Wing, a colorful visual Bible timeline takes them from the creation story to the resurrection. You realize they are in for an exciting time during Bible class by the smiles on their faces! We’ll take them on a journey through stories which show the hand of God on events throughout history. They’ll encounter exciting and challenging stories from the timeless stories of God’s word. They’ll explore what it means to follow God and learn about their special family of God.
Visiting families check in at our Children’s Information Desk (K - 2nd Graders are dropped off and picked up by parents or legal guardians only) at the entrance to the Elementary area. Our volunteers will direct you to your child’s Bible classroom on Sundays and Wednesdays. Through the use of creative teaching methods presented by adults who love the Lord and love kids, your child will take additional steps toward a lasting relationship with their God.
A variety of supplemental programs are ongoing in our elementary ministry, including Prayer Warriors (a praying ministry for grades 3 - 5), Bible Memory Challenge (a Bible memorization program for grades K - 6), Leadership Training (Leadership development for grades 4 & 5), and a year round schedule of activities which challenge children to think more deeply about their walk with God. VBS, summer camps and retreats, and a bunch of other fun activities become their new foundation as we begin their “great adventure” that will last a lifetime!

Preschool
Our Preschool Area is for children ages 2 to 5 (as of September 1 of the school calendar year). As children enter the “Discovery” first floor hallway of our Children’s Ministry wing they will DISCOVER that God is, God loves them, and He desires us to love and serve Him. Visiting families check in at our Children’s Information Desk at the entrance to the Preschool area and our volunteers will direct you to your child’s Bible classroom for Sunday and/or Wednesday.
With our check in/check out system you realize your child is entering a fun but safe place for him or her to learn about God. We offer many ways for preschoolers to “Grow With God” including Bible classes with caring and loving teachers, Sunday Morning Children"s Church, Celebration Station and Sunday Night Kid’s Praise, and various preschool activities throughout the year. We use a variety of ways to teach preschoolers the Bible through hands on activities, puppet shows, multimedia, Bible centered lessons, and more. We would love for you and your family to come see what Preschool at Mayfair is all about! - Leigh Ann Benson, Preschool Specialist

Our nursery areas continue to grow as God continues to bless us with new additions! I’ll be looking for you this Sunday! - , Nursery Coordinator

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
One of the biggest responsibilities a parent has been given by God is to raise his child up in the “training and teaching of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4) It was one of the core principles that God gave to the chosen people of Israel (Deuteronomy 6). What better example can your child have of the importance of this training and teaching than in the Bible class ministry to children with your church family at Mayfair. We have a variety of roles a parent can support this ministry through. They are…
Teacher - Leading a small group of children and teaching them from pre prepared teacher friendly Bible class curriculum for a defined amount of time (8-13 sessions).
Helper - Serving as an assistant to the teacher in a small group of children with your role including… providing “crowd control” help in the classroom, securing additional teaching helps from the workroom to insure that at least 1 adult is with children at all times, bathroom breaks, etc. (8-13 sessions).
3rd - 5th Grade Crew Leader - Leading a small group of children and mentoring them through weekly prayer after gathering prayer requests from children, calling roll, greeting any guests, and then taking them to their weekly Bible class learning center session. Also serve as “crowd control” help and help with bathroom runs as needed. (8-13 sessions)
3rd - 5th Grade Learning Center Teacher - Through either a drama, science, or museum setting teaching a 20 minute prepared lesson to a group of 3rd, 4th, or 5th graders weekly. The same lesson would be taught 3 weeks in a row to 3 different age groups, with a new Bible lesson being introduced every 4th week. (9 sessions in a 12 week period)

Prayer Warriors
We are extremely excited about our Prayer Warriors Ministry. Your child is now an official Mayfair “Prayer Warrior” and will be embarking on a year-long journey that we hope will help teach them the power of prayer.
This 3rd-5th grade ministry was started by Gary Bradley in 1996 in conjunction with the Abundant Living Television Program. Oftentimes, viewers would call or write the show requesting prayers. Brother Bradley’s idea to use our elementary children to pray on their behalf evolved into the Prayer Warriors Ministry of today. Since its inception, the ministry has used each 3rd - 5th grade class (on a monthly rotating basis) to write cards that are sent to Abundant Living viewers, the sick of our own congregation, United States soldiers, and others who need our encouragement.
The ultimate goal of the ministry, however, is to teach our children the awesome power of prayer. This is where you come in. We will be working harder than ever this year to teach your child how to pray and how to look for God’s answers to our prayers. We will work to accomplish this through scripture and practical application of prayer in and out of the classroom. The catch, however, is this prayer must be emphasized at home. You may have heard the old adage that “families who pray together stay together”. This has never been more true than in today’s world.
We will be working to provide you with practical tips throughout the year to encourage prayer time with your children. During the course of the year, we may even ask you to join us during the Bible class hour to pray with your children.
If you have any questions, feedback, or concerns, I encourage you to contact the Children’s Ministry office.

Children’s Ministry: A Place To Call Their Own
We believe that children are our greatest treasure from God, and at Mayfair it shows! Your children have a special place here to call their own. Our children’s ministry provides a safe and fun place for children (birth - 5th grade) to discover and explore Bible truths. It is here that your child will learn to love God and develop a young life that shines.
No matter what their age or development stage, we’re here to complement the hard work that you as parents are pouring in to your children. We believe a partnership with parents is God’s way to raise great kids!
On Sundays & Wednesday nights God’s Word comes alive through creative worship and Bible class times. An exciting year round calendar of activities provides children a variety of opportunities to develop lasting friendships and grow in their walk with God. Our teachers and volunteers take great joy in serving your family.
When you and your child arrive on our campus, colorful signage directs you to special parking for our guest families with children. Follow the children’s footprints into our “Discovery Zone” where you’ll be greeted by one of our Children’s Ministry volunteers and directed to our Children’s Information Desk. Friendly adults will answer any of your questions and quickly check your children in with the help of a computerized system. Our safe and secure facilities are designed to give every child a wonderful experience - and every parent’s peace of mind that their child is being cared for by loving hands, and taught with loving hearts.
We can’t wait to meet you and your children!
- Randy Fowler, Children’s Minister
