Children's Ministry
To transform the world by teaching children, through unconditional love, to become life-long disciples of Jesus Christ in a prayerful scripture based environment.
Nursery + Preschool
Elementary School
(Kindergarten-5th Grade) Your children will build friendships, have fun and learn about Jesus’ love for them through creative lessons, games, and songs. Your child’s safety is ensured through dependable, background-checked leaders. Our goal is that your child will leave every week knowing Jesus loves them, we believe in them, and that church can be fun.

What are the Children Learning?
Elementary
In March, the elementary children are learning that God created us to work together in community. When we cooperate, we reflect what Jesus envisioned for His followers. Our love for one another can point people back to Jesus.
- Week One: Jesus and His Followers (Luke 5, 6, 8) Bottom Line: Jesus wants us to work together.
- Week Two: Joshua Wins the Battle Over the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8-13) Bottom Line: Work together to help someone succeed.
- Week Three: Nehemiah Rebuilds the Walls (Nehemiah 1–4; 6:15) Bottom Line: Work together to solve problems.
- Week Four: Four Friends Work Together (Luke 5:17-26) Bottom Line: Work together to help someone in need.
- Week Five: One Body, Many Parts (1 Corinthians 12:12-27 Bottom Line: Work together to point people to Jesus.
