Preschool (Ages 4-5) through 4th Grade
ROCKS is Gethsemane's Wednesday after-school ministry where children grow in faith, build friendships, and have fun! Each week is filled with exciting games, music, Bible lessons, crafts, hands-on activities, and meaningful opportunities to learn about God's love in a welcoming Christian environment.
New for 2026–2027: To provide the best experience for every child, students will be divided into two or three age-based groups, depending on enrollment and volunteer availability. This allows for more age-appropriate lessons, activities, and small-group connections.
Everyone is welcome!
You do not need to be a member of Gethsemane Lutheran Church to join us.
