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 August, our elementary kiddos will be digging deep to discover what matters most. When Jesus was a boy, He grew in wisdom. God wants us to discover wisdom, too. When we make a wise choice, we reflect the character of Jesus to the people around us. That’s why giving kids a strong foundation of wisdom is important. We want to equip them to face down whatever choice they may face in the future.
- August 9 – Jesus Grows in Wisdom (Luke 2:41–52) | Bottom Line: Wisdom is worth searching for.
- August 16 – Solomon Asks God for Wisdom (1 Kings 3:4–28)| Bottom Line: Trust God to give you wisdom.
- August 23 – Wise People See Danger (Proverbs 22:3)| Bottom Line: Think before you act.
- August 30 – Rehoboam Listens to Fools (2 Chronicles 10, supporting: Proverbs 13:20)| Bottom Line: Hang out with wise people.
Memory Verse: “If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you. God gives freely to everyone and doesn’t find fault.”
