  • SUNDAY MORNINGS @ 10:00am

  • Cradle Care (Infants, Toddlers & Twos) Nurturing God's littlest ones with loving care.
  • Inspiring Faith ~ 3 year olds - 3rd Grade Where we inspire God's young ones to grow, proclaim, and serve! We incorporate Bible stories, activities, crafts, videos, and games into a full faith experience for children. They will develop the skills to unlock the Bible message and grow their faith by leaps and bounds. Summer studies will shift to a study on John Wesley and a Walk through the Bible.
  • Empowering J12 ~ 4th- 6th grade Where we empower our 8-12 year olds to become like Jesus at age 12, who is the greatest preteen role model that has ever lived - because it's never too soon to start living like Jesus! J12 specializes in engaging the imaginations and hearts of preteens.
  • Families ~ Our goal is to partner with families to help kids grow like Jesus grew, mentally, physically, spiritually and socially. Watch for our quarterly Family Events or sign up to be a part of 'The Street Team' and lend a hand in our ministry.
  • MISSIONS ~ The children's Sunday morning offerings are used for a variety of mission projects locally, nationally and worldwide, helping those in need with a generous heart.
  • WEDNESDAY NIGHTS 5:30-7:30pm Sept-May

  • Kid's Club (Kindergarten - 5th grade)
  • Join us on Wednesday evenings in 2012-13 as we take part in the churchwide study of 'A Year of Taking Jesus Seriously' ... tweaked just for Kids!
  • Bring your dinner and join us for food, fellowship, friends and fun! This is a unique blend of activity and discipleship with interactive learning, Bible skills, and giggles :-)
  • Friends are always welcome!
