Children’s Ministry
About Us
As we gather each week, we consider it a privilege to serve families with children in a fun, safe, and engaging environment. Each of our age groups offer unique classroom settings where kids are taught about God directly from the Bible! Each area is designed to engage kids’ hearts and minds at their age level, as well as provide space for friendships to be developed.
Your child's safety and care is a priority to us. Your child will be cared for by loving, nurturing, trained adults who enjoy spending time with children. All children's workers have approved background checks and training prior to volunteering. All families are required to check-in before heading to their classroom. This provides each child with a nametag and guardians with a matching pick-up tag.
Your First Visit
Our Check-In Station is located in the Early Childhood Hallway, right near the front entrance of the Church. Our team will guide you through the process of inputting family information such as Names, Ages/Grades, Contact Information and Allergies & Special Instructions. Each child will be given a name tag, with a unique code that is used for security purposes. We will show you to each classroom, introducing you to the leaders that will be serving alongside your child.

Nursery
Nursery care is provided for our youngest church members in the Early Childhood Hallway. Your child will be cared for by loving, nurturing, trained adults who enjoy spending time with young children. Our little ones experience the love of God through Bible stories, songs, and play.
Preschool & Kinder
Preschoolers & Kindergartners gather in our Early Childhood Hallway. To start the morning, they participate in Sunday School classes where they hear a Bible story, engage in games, and make crafts. Little Church, combines our 3s-Kinders, and brings our weekly Bible story to life through story-telling, skits, music, games, hands-on activities, and play. Bible Buddies is an exciting program on Wednesday nights for 3s-Kinders, which includes lessons, music, scripture memorization, prayer, snack, and crafts.

Our 1st through 4th Graders gather in the Basement each week (take the stairs located near the Elevator in the Atrium). To start the morning, each grade meets in their Sunday School Classes to dig into a Bible story, participate in hands-on application activities, and build meaningful friendships among their peers. All grades re-gather at 10:30am for Kids Church, where kids engage in our Bible lesson, through interactive teaching, music, games, science experiments, and more. Wednesday nights are spent together, working through various Biblical series, lots of games, time with friends, and application activities.

Our PreTeen Ministry, also known as PACERS, exists to walk through the transitional years with our 5th & 6th Graders. PACERS meet in the Basement during Sunday School, as well as Wednesday evenings. It’s in this time that they have space to build relationships, dig deeper into their faith through Bible study and conversations, and find ways to apply the truths to their individual lives. PACERS spend additional time together with monthly events, an annual Retreat each summer, and a Missions Trip each Spring Break.
