Children
"Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me,
and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.'"
(Matthew 19:14, New International Version)
Our Vision
To provide a joyful, caring, educational environment in which God's children can grow in their relationship with Christ and love of others, and better recognize God's presence in their lives and the world around them.
Springwood does this by providing an intergenerational family environment. There are classes and activities just for the children. But there are also many opportunities for parents, children, and other members of the congregation to all have fun and interact together. And we welcome children from the community to all of our events, whether you attend Springwood Church or not.
We love our children!

Children's and Family Activities
Whether going to Burlington City Park or Emerald Point Water Park, our kids know how to play and have fun! There are activities throughout the year, but especially during the summer. To find the events planned just for our children, go to the Calendar of Upcoming Events and click on "Children" in the pop-down menu at the top. Then simply select the events you would like to learn more about.
Parent's Night Out
Parent's Night Out is a program that serves both the children and the parents. Always on a Friday evening from 5:30 to 9:00 pm, it gives caregivers a much-needed break. Go ahead, watch a movie, go out to eat, or catch up on some errands. And don't worry, your kids will be well cared for and have a great time. The children receive dinner, play games, do crafts, and wind down the evening watching a movie. The cost? Free. Check out our Calendar of Upcoming Events for the next Parent's Night Out.
Vacation Bible School
Summer Camp! Each summer we host a week-long Vacation Bible School for children of all ages, as well as our teenagers. Join us from 6:30-8:30pm each evening, July 14-18 this summer. It is built around a theme and includes nightly Bible lessons, crafts, song, snacks, and recreation. The theme of our Vacation Bible School for 2008 is Rainforest Adventure. The week is capped with a closing celebration on Friday evening that parents and family are invited to join. Check out our Calendar of Upcoming Events for more details.
Christmas Program
The children are an integral part of our church-wide Christmas program every December. It always features singing, food, costumes, and drama. And of course, it focuses our hearts towards the birth of the Christ-child.
