We are building disciples for Jesus!
The goal:
To reach children with the Gospel.
The plan:
To teach them with excellence and creativity in a learning, effective, and relationally rich environment to disciple them in God’s grace for lifelong, Biblically-based decision making.
At Central Manor Church, each one of our workers completes the PA state mandated clearances to ensure the safety of each child.
Children’s Ministries
We offer many classroom opportunities for your children to learn about Jesus Christ and the Bible on a level that is appropriate for their age. We have a Sunday schools each Sunday at 9:00am for 2 & 3 year olds, 4 & 5 year olds, kindergarten, and grades 1-6. Each child will be checked in by someone on our security team and then they can enter into their appropriate classroom. They are then picked up by a parent and checked out by a member of our security team at 10:15am.
Children 4/5 years old or in kindergarten to grade 2 have the opportunity to stay during the second worship service (10:30 service) for Kids Church and have the opportunity to do crafts and games that reinforce the lesson taught throughout the morning. If a child only attends Kids Church at 10:30am, don’t worry, our creative and energetic teachers reinforce the morning’s Bible truth in a variety of ways that every child will have the opportunity to hear the truth about Jesus Christ and the salvation that can come through him.
Nursery
Our nursery is geared towards infants to 2-year-olds. We offer nursery during both Sunday services . We have a security system in place to assure the safety of all our children.
Kids Church
We believe each child deserves to hear and learn about Jesus Christ in a relevant and practical way.
Kids Church, for kindergarten – 2nd grade is held during the 10:30am service.
Kids Church begins after our time of worshiping through songs. Kids Church programs includes a Bible lesson, a craft to reinforce the lesson and then a snack to conclude the morning.

AWANA stands for Approved Workman Are Not Ashamed from 2 Timothy 2:15
Our AWANA program begins in the beginning of September and ends at the end of April. On Wednesday’s from 6:30pm to 8:00pm our AWANA clubs are for ages 3 thru 6th grade.
We follow the Penn Manor School District for cancellations. If there is no school or an early dismissal on a Wednesday, then we will not be having AWANA club.
AWANA helps churches and parents work together to develop spiritually strong children and youth who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Our programs offer a proven approach for evangelizing and discipling kids in the church and community.
As a ministry leader for over 60 years, Awana is making an impact. A national survey found AWANA to be as important to our alumni’s spiritual foundation as all other church activities combined. Among alumni who participated in our programs for at least six years, 92.7 percent still attend church at least weekly as adults!
Each week, more than two million kids ages 2 to 18 participate in Awana. This includes more than 1.1 million in 102 countries outside of the U.S., the most children that AWANA has ever reached internationally.

Exciting changes are coming this summer! Soccer Camp is now Spirit Week, and we’re adding an additional track that kids can choose – drama camp! Next year, we hope to add more options to choose from as well!
Our goal for this week is to help children, created in the image of God, to cultivate their talents, abilities, and creativity to glorify Him. When they’re using their energy to run and kick and play soccer, they’re using their God-given abilities. When they’re acting and performing, they’re using their God-given creativity. During the Bible lessons, we’re teaching about what it means to be a child of God. This year, we are also adding a fifth night of camp. On Friday, we will have a parent night, where parents are invited to come to see what their kids have learned throughout the week.
Our theme verse for the week is Colossians 3:10, “ Put on the new self. You are being renewed in knowledge according to the image of your Creator.”
When you fill out the registration form, under “Student Information”, there is now a line to mark off registration for soccer camp or drama camp. Please fill that out, so we know which camp your child will be attending.
