Ongoing Children's Ministries

NURSERIES: For children 0-3 years old, we offer nurseries for both Sunday School and Worship. The Infant Nursery cares for children ages 0-18 months of age and the Toddler Nursery 18 months – 3 years. Both nurseries are located behind the Sanctuary on the 1st Floor.

SUNDAY SCHOOL: Begins at 9:45 AM with all children (age 3 through 5th grade) meeting in Room 210 for praise and worship singing. The children then divide into three age groups for their lesson, 3-4 year olds – Room 211, 5-6 year olds – Room 209 and 7-10 year olds in Room 210.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH: A Worship enrichment program is offered for children ages 4 through 2nd grade. After the Children’s Time, children are invited to leave the Sanctuary with their leaders for a time of fun and learning.

VBS: Vacation Bible School is a fun-filled spiritual adventure for boys and girls that provides focused Bible study and encourages real-life application. It is an important outreach for our church. Few other events offer the potential to reach out to children and even adults in our community the way Vacation Bible School does. Click here and see what this year's VBS has for you.

TERRIFIC TUESDAYS: Once a month during the summer, children will take off on a TERRIFIC adventure filled with fun & fellowship. Each event begins at 9:00 AM at the church. All rising kindergartners through rising 6th graders and their friends are welcome. Flyers and release forms were mailed to all children this week and also are available in the welcome center. Children must have a current medical release form on file. You may print the form on your computer (click here), fill it out, and mail it to or drop them by the church office.
