Children’s Ministry

Children’s Ministry is a growing and active place where children can begin to experience what faith in Jesus is all about.  Come down for a visit this Sunday and stay for some fun.

Many young families have found a home at Armour Heights, and we invite you to share with us, too. Our Nursery & Toddler room is a warm and welcoming place, and we would love the opportunity to care for your little one.

Each week begins with a welcoming large group time for S/K-Grade 6, where we gather to learn, celebrate, and worship God. The children then join their teachers in small groups to explore what faith in Jesus can mean in their lives.

There is always something exciting going on in Children’s Church at Armour Heights. Whether it’s drama, music, discussion, games, or crafts, our children are always engaged in age-appropriate activities as they grow their faith through experiential worship.

Nursery – Our nursery staff lovingly await your arrival! Babies 0-2, are welcome to stay with us throughout the worship service. We sing, play & hear stories each week in a brightly-coloured, beautifully decorated room.

The children’s church program continues throughout the summer months in a modified form called One Room Children’s Church. There are stories and a number of activities to engage children at a variety of age and interest levels!

Please note: One Room Church School is not held on holiday Sundays.

  • We are the hands and feet of Jesus…

    Portland Place
    -Several times each year we celebrate and share with the people of Portland Place. Through Karaoke, BBQs, Christmas Parties, flower garden planting and more, we share in the lives of our inner city brothers and sisters.

    Evangel Hall
    -Once or twice each year we have the opportunity to prepare and serve dinner at Evangel Hall, providing dinner for 80-100 people. It is a wonderful time of blessing for all involved.

    Yonge Street Mission
    -In 2012 we have the opportunity to share in YSM's Saturday Breakfast program. We are looking forward to cooking breakfast and hanging out with the children who attend their Saturday ministry.

    Prayer Shawls
    -Our Prayer Shawl ministry team provides prayer shawls for those who are ill, new babies, university students, confirmation participants, and more. It is a wonderful blessing for both those who create and those who receive these meaningful shawls.

    Senior's Lunch
    -Each month we provide lunch and a speaker for Seniors who live in our community. We invite speakers to share insights on relevant health issues, particularly for seniors.

    Parent and Tot
    -Every Monday morning (with the exception of long weekends and summer) from 9:30am-11am we provide a time of drop-in play and community for Parents and their little ones in our neighbourhood. It is a friendly, open, caring environment in which friendships are nurtured.

    Christmas
    -We share in many outreach ministries during the Advent and Christmas Season including:
    -Mitten Tree: Each year we collect mittens, hats, and scarves for people living in Toronto
    -Christmas Angels: We help new refugee families celebrate their first Christmas in Canada with warm clothes, food, and some special gifts.
    -YSM Shoeboxes: Families load up shoeboxes filled with toys for innercity children living in Toronto.
