NextGen Ministries
EXPLORE Preschool Ministry (Newborn - PreK)
In the preschool years, a child will form their first impression of their Heavenly Father.
At Cumberland, the preschool ministry is laying a critical foundation for faith in the life of a child in an environment where they get to experience the love of God through the care of our amazing team of trained volunteers. Every lesson and activity reinforces three basic truths:
- God made me
- God loves me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Explore Preschool programming is available Sundays during all 3 services - 8:00, 10:00, & 12:00.

DISCOVER Kids Ministry (K-5th Grade)
In the elementary years, a child will grow in wisdom, faith, and friendship.
Kids Ministry provides an opportunity for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade to build community, learn about the character of God, and discover what it means to put their trust in Jesus. We accomplish this through compelling large-group teaching and small group reinforcement. During their time in NextGen, kids will know that:
- I can trust God no matter what.
- I need to make the wise choice.
- I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Discover Kids programming is available on Sundays during all 3 Services - 8:00, 10:00, & 12:00.
