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 SEPTEMBER IN GROW
A lot of parents and kids alike focus more heavily on gleaning academic knowledge and gaining meaningful experiences, but teaching our kids to pursue wisdom will help them merge those fields and develop better, God-centered decision-making skills. Kids are placed in plenty of situations where they would need to exercise such discernment. While the wisdom they would need on a daily basis may not be on the scale of Solomon deliberating an argument between two women each claiming to be the rightful mother of a baby, kids will still collect valuable insight about wisdom from such stories. During this month they will determine that all wisdom comes from God, and that through life God can be trusted. They will also learn that when asked, God will always give us the right words and He wants us to come to Him to ask our difficult questions.
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.
