CHILDREN

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me."  Matthew 19:14  

We are passionate about connecting children to Christ and to each other.
 The pastors and teachers are here to support and encourage you

Special Connections

We value inclusion whenever possible.  However, we offer a class for children, teens, and adults with special needs during both hours on Sunday Mornings. This class is staffed with teachers who extend special care to ensure the individual needs of each student are met and that they learn about God’s love for all of His children.

Sunday Evening Mission Groups

New this fall! RAs and GAs meet one Sunday evening a month…from 4 to 6pm and are joined by Mission Friends for preschoolers and kindergartners as part of our church-wide missions focus through Pray and Go. Missions leaders will use this time to dig into God’s word and to help children explore how God is working around the world and closer to home. We are also learning that we are all called to be on mission for Christ in our daily lives.

September 10 and then the first Sunday of each month through May.
