Welcome to Preschool Ministry where we pray, plan and play with a purpose! We believe that each child is created in the image of God and we want to love them and help them grow like Jesus did!


We’ve designed our preschool environment very intentionally to allow our youngest children to experience God’s love for them! Each child is assigned a room based on either their age or stage of development. Encouraging and nurturing teachers care for your children and provide fun hands-on learning experiences for them to feel loved and learn foundational biblical truths about God’s great big love for them. Our fantastic team members are passionate about each child feeling valued and loved by us, and more importantly, by Jesus. All preschool team members are screened, background-checked and trained. Preschool areas are cleaned and sanitized following each meeting time.


EVENTS & GROUPS



Trunk or Treat

October 25th | 6:00 - 7:30 PM
FREE

Trunk or Treat is our annual event at the end of October that draws our church family and neighbors together so we can get to know one another. Adults have fun decorating their vehicles and handing out treats, and of course the kids like the treats. It's a safe and friendly environment for the entire family. You can volunteer to provide your vehicle/help someone else or donate candy. To volunteer, you must be a member of First Norfolk or a LIFEgroup. If you are interested in helping with Trunk or Treat, please contact Julie Hunt, jhunt@firstnorolk.org, or Jan Frost, jfrost@firstnorfolk.org , to register or for more information.
