Children & Family
At Raintree Christian Church we believe God has a special calling for each child's life and we are excited to partner with parents to teach your child the truths of God's Word in a safe, friendly, and fun environment. Our children’s programs are more than just childcare — we desire to come alongside and equip the
entire family to love God and love others!
Children’s & Family Coordinator
Hi! My name is Michelle Shelburne and I am the Children's and Family Ministry Coordinator. I have eleven years of experience being an elementary educator with a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. I am married to Ryan and we have one daughter named Lindsey. I enjoy drinking coffee, eating popcorn, Harry Potter, soccer, reading, and most importantly, being a wife and mom. I love to help kids and families in learning more about God's love. If I can assist you in any way, please contact me at mshelburne@raintreechristian.org.

During Worship
During our Worship time, children’s programming is provided for children six weeks old to the 5th grade. For our youngest guests, we provide loving nursery care staffed by volunteers who have passed background checks.
Our family-friendly Worship services are designed to encourage parents and their Kindergarten-5th graders to experience worship and communion together before being dismissed to age-appropriate teaching during the sermon time.
We believe that parents are the “Spiritual Formation Experts” for their children and we want to foster that time for growth on Sunday mornings.
