CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

We love the energy and joy that children bring to the church. We welcome them in worship and provide opportunities for them to explore their faith. These include Sunday school starting at age 3, children's church during the second half of the church service for children grades K-3, nursery and Vacation Bible School in the summer. We look forward to meeting your children.
