Sunday Wednesday Special Programs

A Place Where Kids Belong

We offer a variety of options for the youngest members of our church family. We want to share the joy of Christ and let every child know that they are loved by an amazing God. We want to show and teach them nothing they do will change the way God loves them.

Sunday Children's Classes

During the 9:00 AM Worship Service

Every class has a weekly handpicked curriculum that is age appropriate for their developmental needs. We focus on 12 simple biblical truths that help kids know who they are because of who God is. These truths progress through I am known, I am forgiven, and I am designed for a purpose. We want every child to know and learn the Bible in a way they understand.
