Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs.” We set our vision on the future, and respond to Christ with a clear, loud, call “Let them come.”
During the week you will find kids learning their ABC’s in a preschool classroom or playing with other kids in the nursery. On Sunday morning, you will find kids in the atrium eating snacks, playing with one another, and after service, you’ll find kids exploring the sanctuary. When you enter Sunrise, what you would see are kids full of curiosity, with free and wild hearts not yet touched by the pains of this world… you will see children that know that Sunrise is a safe place for them. We are convinced that Sunrise helps shape the lives of the children in our care in ways that we will never know. We are showing them God’s abundant grace, giving them a place where they can find true belonging, and shaping them into the type of people that serve Christ by serving others. We are making a difference in their lives that they will carry with them through their entire lives. There are hundreds of kids whose lives we touch each and every week. Sunrise is the type of community that shares the love of God with children and their families through the Sparks children’s ministry, the Sunrise Preschool, scouts, MOPS (Mother of Preschoolers), backpack, food, and toy drives, and countless other ways.
The Sunrise community is making a difference in the lives of children across the Briargate area. We are committed to continuing the work that we started over 40 years ago in a preschool room on the other side of Interstate 25. We will help shape the next generation, by giving our kids the gift of love that they will carry with them out into the world. You are invited to join us in sharing the love of Christ and making a difference in the lives of the kids in our community.
