About Us

PRETEEN MINISTRY

Joy Cheshier

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY DIRECTOR (K-6TH) 
5TH & 6TH GRADES
They're not quite children anymore. That's why we have dynamic, engaging, silly, and serious programs for preteens! Students in grades 5 and 6 meet every week for Sunday School and also gather on Wednesday night for a semester-based program.
PRETEEN FAITH
We build solid spiritual foundations in preteens with strong teaching led by Christ-centered adult volunteers. Sunday School--a book-by-book study--takes kids on a journey as they dig deep into Scripture. The active lessons build foundational Bible knowledge and skills, and encourages them to live what they learn everywhere they go. Preteens study the same Scripture each week as students and adults, allowing for meaningful lunchtime conversation.
PRETEEN FRIENDS
Preteens don't enjoy church until they experience the of friendship. That's why we make each child feel welcome and wanted. Students come from many different schools (public, private, charter, and home school), so each and every one will fit right in.
PRETEEN FUN
Today's preteens can only sit still for so long! So our weekly programs offer variety including games, discussion, video, lecture, and hands-on activities.  Special events throughout the year offer preteens fun ways to grow faith and friendships.
SAFE & SECURE ENVIRONMENT
Walnut Ridge Baptist Church strives to provide a safe and secure environment for the minors who participate in our programs and activities, whether at authorized off-campus events or at church property. By following these practices, our goal is to protect the children and students of Walnut Ridge Baptist Church from incidents of misconduct or inappropriate behavior, while providing excellence in ministry to families. We intend for our church to be the safest place in town. All volunteers who come in contact with minors are screened and trained: (1) Submit to background check every two years; (2) Attend child safety training; (3) Take child safety test upon completion of training. These training materials are available upon request.
