Children’s Ministry (K – 5th Grade)

Sunday School resumes on Sept. 20th: Meets in Room 107 (Weekday School wing). We focus on building community and exploring God’s Word through discussion and activities.
Children’s Worship (10:00 a.m.): Children start in the Sanctuay with their families. After the "Children’s Message" at the altar, those in 4-year-old preschool through 3rd grade are invited to Children’s Worship for age-appropriate lessons and crafts, returning to their parents at the end of the service.
