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.

Preschool

This month our preschoolers will discover that there is power in a thankful heart! Consider when a heart focuses on what it does not have, it is discontent and unhappy. But when a heart focuses on being thankful for everything, it is content and joyful. Let’s choose a life of joy and give thanks to the Lord with our whole heart!
  • Week One: Ruth, Naomi, and Boazl (Ruth 1-2)
  • Week Two: Daniel’s Friends Pray (Daniel 2)
  • Week Three: Manna and Quail (Exodus 16)
