Newborns through the 5th grade  

  • Our children’ are welcomed and encouraged to participate in worship. We have an activity section in the storage structure with quiet activities, coloring, building, and puzzles. Children are encouraged to sing, pray, and stand with the congregation. Our hope is that they begin learning what worship means, while keeping them busy if needed.  
  • About 15 minutes into worship children and parents are invited to come to the front of the sanctuary for a special Children’s message. This time is typically about 5 minutes long and allows the Children to engage in worship on their level of understanding.
  • After the Children's message, Sunday school is provided for K-5th grade in Benedict Hall where the kids can learn about faith and enjoy fun craft activities.

Sunday School - 10:15-11:00AM, K - 5th grade, Most Sundays during the school year

Nursery - 10:15-11:00 AM, Most Sundays during the school year

Infants and toddler are invited to join our nursery room right next to there parents. They learn and play together.

Our nursery program is a fun, interactive, and safe place where the smallest once can play while there parents join the worship service

Opportunities for Children to Serve:

  • Acolytes (3rd-6th grade): Acolytes have the special responsibility of “bringing the light and love of Christ” into the sanctuary
