CHILDREN
Children’s Church – Sunday’s during adult worship
Children Currently Pre-K (3 year) through 5th Grade (12 year old)
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Mathew 19:14
Each Sunday morning we offer special children’s programing during the sermon. At the beginning of each worship service the children are dismissed to participate in interactive children’s learning using professionally developed curriculum. Our teachers are specifically trained and equipped to teach to a variety of learning styles and across age groups. After the sermon is finished the children return to the sanctuary to participate in Holy Communion. Children’s lesson plans typically follow the same theme as the adult worship, enabling families to facilitate conversation after the service has ended.
Our nursery is also available every Sunday for children 2 years and younger. All people who work with children submit to a background check and interview.
