A vibrant Children’s Ministry is far more than just "childcare during the service"; it is a vital investment in the next generation’s spiritual identity. During these pivotal years, children are forming their primary concepts of God, faith, and the church. A dedicated ministry provides a tailored, age-appropriate environment where biblical truths are translated into stories, play, and songs that resonate with a child’s wonder. By providing a space where kids can ask questions and experience the Gospel on their own terms, the church helps them move from a "borrowed faith" inherited from their parents to a personal relationship with Jesus. This foundation acts as an anchor, giving them a sense of security and belonging that remains long after they leave the classroom.
Beyond the spiritual lessons, Children’s Ministry fosters a unique sense of godly community and mentorship that kids rarely find elsewhere. In this setting, children are surrounded by adult leaders and peers who reinforce the values of kindness, honesty, and service. These relationships show children that they are a significant part of the larger Body of Christ, not just "future" members, but valued participants today. For parents, the ministry serves as a powerful partner, providing resources and support to help lead a Christ-centered home. When a child looks forward to going to church because they feel known and loved, it transforms the faith experience from a weekly obligation into a joyful, lifelong journey of discovery.
CHILDREN'S CHURCH || during 10 AM worship service || Classroom B
Join us each week for Children’s Church, which runs during our main worship service. Kids who want to be part of Children's Church will be dismissed after the Children’s Moment and may be picked up after our worship service ends. On the Sundays where we partake of communion, kids will return to the sanctuary in time to partake of the elements.
THIS AUGUST IN GROW
Bravery takes many shapes and forms. Kids are faced with challenges every day that require some level of bravery, such has having to step out of their comfort zones, sticking up for someone or something they believe in, or simply being comfortable with and confident of who they are. The Bible stories about David and Esther in this series may seem larger than life at first. How do I relate to someone who was able to take down a giant with a sling? How can I actually do anything when I don’t have any power or authority – both David and Esther were royals! But upon closer inspection, kids will come to realize that David and Esther had God’s help –a lot of it –along the way. Through these stories, kids can discover small ways they can exhibit bravery, because God knows who they are and God can use their gifts. They will also find that a form of bravery is to show others mercy. Their bravery will be put the test with challenges, but God can help overcome those difficulties, and they can rest assured that God has a plan for their lives!
Childcare/Nursery is available during all Sunday morning activities (Sunday school, Bible studies, worship). It is located in Classroom C (the room on the right, past the kitchen.)
Throughout the year, we also host a variety of special events and activities for children and families. Stay up to date on our Events page. If you have questions or have interest in volunteering in any capacity, contact our Director Of Family Ministries Megan Wetzel.
