Children are very important at the Vineyard Church of Federal Way. We believe that children are not only the future of the church but are active members of the church. While we have classes for children of every age, we also include them in every aspect of church life. They participate in worship, help in the church service, and serve side by side with adults in many other aspects of the church.

Safety

The safety of the children who come to our church is of utmost importance to us. Background checks are done before any individual can work with children. Teachers, assistants and youth workers are not allowed to be alone with a child. During the services staff members check in regularly on classes. See all of our protection policies.

Sunday School is an amazingly important part of the life of a child. One that teaches things that will help him or her grow in the Lord.

The purpose of Sunday School is to help introduce children to God’s love for them, and help them begin the journey to knowing Him personally. The vision we have for Sunday School is that we can be a support to parents who already know the Lord and are teaching their children about Him, and also a way for children not living in Christian homes to learn about Him as well.

Our goal as a church is to be the place parents can know their children are safe, happy and learning how be have a relationship with Jesus, and others. That every child and parent will see our heart for them and our love for the Lord. Our heart for this ministry is Proverbs 22:6 “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” We want our children to know God. And to be able to one day tell their children of God, and His love. Psalm 78:4 “We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his power, and the wonders he has done.” It is our responsibility to our children to help them become who God has called them to be.
