The Kids Ministry is committed to partner with families and provide a safe and fun learning environment. We’ll provide solid, age-appropriate biblical teaching tools and scripture-based resources that will communicate God’s love for your child, His plan for their life, and reveal the truth of His word. We do this through our Sunday morning gatherings, camps, and family-inclusive events.
Preschool & Sunday School classes are available during the 9:30a hour. Limited preschool classes ONLY are available during the 8a hour. NO preschool or Sunday School classes are available during the 11a hour.
