Small church. So many small people. Find out why.
Children
We're at our best when we are "forming children and youth in the way of Christ." Children's Minister Andrea Ball and our children's team lead this remarkable ministry.
Children's Sunday School
Join us on Sunday mornings at 10:00 for children's Sunday School. We have classes for preschoolers, grades K-1, 2-3, and 4-5—as well as the rest of the family.
Children's Worship
Our 11 o'clock worship service is relaxed and upbeat. Children are everywhere, even onstage. Just before the offering, we invite children through grade 2 to Children's Worship—a teaching experience just for them. It's optional, of course. Many children, even babies, stay in the sanctuary, which is fine with us.
Once a month, we also provide a Children's Worship experience for children in grades 3-5. The other Sundays, children in those grades stay in the sanctuary, facilitating the transition to a higher developmental level of worship. Watch the Sunday bulletin for when these special Children's Worship experiences are scheduled.
Children's Missions
On Wednesday evenings we offer children's missions. We start at 6:45 PM and wrap it up at 7:30 PM. There's also an optional extended session till 8:00 for parents involved in ESL, GED, or small groups that last until that time. For additional information about this program, see our kids mission page.
