The Children’s Ministry seeks to provide opportunities for children to focus on others instead of self. We believe molding the faith of children is of vital importance to God’s church.
Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. (Mark 10:14–15)
Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in this world. (Philippians 2:15)
Our ministry team is committed to teaching God’s Word to the max! We have created a nurturing, safe, and child-friendly environment where your child will feel God’s love. Please allow our dedicated team to assist you in any way we can. Never hesitate to call with any questions you may have. We pray that as our children grow they will learn the truth and take Jesus into their hearts.
We offer activities such as Vacation Bible School, Summer Camps, Child/Parent Activities and Wednesday evening service projects … and more! We would love for you and your children to become part of our family.

Nursery, Bible Hour and Bible Class
The Children’s department is open for Nursery, Bible Hour and Bible Class. During the worship assembly at 9 a.m., Nursery is available for children birth through two years old, and Bible Hour is available for children three years old through 5th grade. First and fifth Sundays are Family Worship. Only the Nursery will be open during worship, and preschool through elementary children are encouraged to worship with their parents. Bible class is available at 10:30 a.m. for birth through 5th grade.
Curriculum
Our Children’s Ministry uses “Dig-In” which creates a deeper Bible understanding for children. Using interactive story experiences, object lessons, games and other activities, children interact with the Bible in ways that become more memorable and rooted in the child.
