SPRIGS - Sprouts Interest Groups

SPRIGS are an opportunity for adult and youth members of our church to share their special interests with our Redbud Sprouts (grades 3-5). These special sessions take place one night a week over the course of 4 to 6 weeks.

Check out the fliers below for information about our current and upcoming SPRIGS, and to register your kiddo. (All programs are FREE, but registration is required so that we can ensure everyone has the supplies they need.)

Current & Upcoming SPRIGS

Lenten Study Series - Please join us Wednesday nights at 6PM for a family-friendly series that explores the season through engaging stories, hands-on activities, and meaningful discussions, helping all ages understand the principals of Lent in preparation for Easter.

This session is FREE, and all are welcome!

Dungeons & Dragons Pop-Up Session - Check here for information about our next D&D Pop-up session, coming soon!

SPRIG Game Nights - ON HOLD during the Lenten Study Series.

Children in Worship

Your children are welcome in the worship service!

We all experience worship differently, so if your Sprout wants to get up and move around, we encourage that! Check out the Pray-Ground, a special area in the sanctuary dedicated specifically for our youngest Sprouts.

Sprouts on a Mission

Our Sprouts are taking God’s love out into the world! We partner with a local clothing closet for kids, First Landing State Park, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation & Keep Norfolk Beautiful, and we’re always looking for more ways to help!

Check the “Upcoming Events” section regularly to see what we’re up to.
