CHILDREN & FAMILIES

We desire and pray for spiritual transformation to occur in the life of a child at church and at home. We are convinced that ministry to children is best accomplished by creatively teaching God's Word and Story and then offering encouragement, practical training and tools based in scripture to parents. 


We are committed to families in three ways:

  1. To encourage and equip parents with tools and resources to help them be the primary spiritual influencers and disciplers in their homes. 
  2. To teach the truth of God’s Word and the Gospel to children through God's Story in the Bible, music, small group discussions, relationships, and age-appropriate, creative activities and play.
  3. To maintain a safe and secure environment for kids. All volunteers and leaders are carefully screened and a stringent security process is in place for all kids and families.

    THIS SUMMER ... Toys will help us learn about serving God.  

    We believe that God has created each child uniquely with specific abilities and personalities. We also believe that children can have an active and living faith. Our focus is helping them to love God with all their heart, soul, and strength through a relationship with Jesus Christ. 

    PRESCHOOL

    Each week children will explore God's story of love, grace and redemption in a classroom format. Our highly creative and caring teachers and assistants strive to create a relational environment that focuses on that day's portion of God's Story through a variety of experiences, activities and crafts. 

    We want your child to grow in God's Story as we teach through the Bible using the curriculum:
