Children's Ministry

Our mission is to partner with parents in raising devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

We are passionate about one thing: engaging children with Jesus Christ. 

Every story in the Bible testifies about Jesus. We believe He is the hero of every story in scripture: the Prince who came to slay the dragon and rescue His bride. Children are captivated by stories, especially those with compelling heroes. So,  we read to them from the Bible, helping them see who Jesus is, and allowing their hearts to be captivated by His never-stopping, never-giving-up, unbreaking, always-and-forever love.

Join us, every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening*, as we explore the greatest story ever told. *One summer service: Sunday-9:30AM, Wednesday evenings-no meetings until fall.

Sunday School—Sunday at 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM

Sunday School meets for all ages, nursery through 18 years old, during the academic year (September through May). 

WiNK (Wednesday Night Kids)—Wednesday at 6:15 PM to 7:45 PM

Mission: Through various activities which engage kids with the Bible, we desire to create an environment that allows us to partner with parents in raising devoted followers of Jesus.
