We want to shepherd children and their families to know and love the Lord Jesus as Savior, to grow in Christ-like character, and to learn to serve with their gifts and good works in His Kingdom.

We accomplish our vision through teaching the Bible, training and encouraging the children in worshiping Jesus Christ, gently challenging them in their walk with the Lord, and by providing opportunities for involvement in service to others.

 Child-targeted - We target our ministry to reach children at their developmental abilities and interests.
Relational - We relate and not just inform. We want to mentor children through transparent lives, Christ-like character, and loving relationship.
Empowering - We disciple children to minister fully in the church body. We believe God speaks both to them and through them.
Partnering - We encourage and mentor parents to fulfill their God-given authority and responsibility as shepherds of their children.
Committed to Quality - We give children our best. We prepare faithfully and commit to excellent training and development.
Safe - We implement procedures to ensure physical and emotional safety of our children.
Fun! - We want the church to be one of their favorite places.

Nursery is provided for newborns through three year olds. Our goal is to develop a relationship with the children and their parents. We offer a warm, loving place for the children. We pray for each child as we hold them or play with them. A system is in place if we need to contact the parent during the service. Nursery is offered during the Sunday School hour and also the morning Worship Service.

Sunday School
Sunday School classes are for ages four to kindergarten, grades 1st to 3rd, and grades 4th to 5th.

Preschoolers
Children age four through kindergarten participate in worship during the Sunday morning Worship Service and then go to their class where they are taught Biblical truths through stories, answering questions, and actively participating in hands on experiences that impart the learning principle of the day to the child.

KIDS Church
Kids In Divine Service (KIDS) is for children from 1st through 5th grade and happens during the Sunday morning service after corporate worship. During the teaching time our goal is to help the children become active in their faith, learn to love Jesus, and to love and serve others. Using large and small group teaching activities, that are age appropriate and Biblically-based, we help the children to come to know Jesus with head and heart.

We also help them grow in their prayer life so they will be able to express their thoughts and feelings to Him in their own words and be able to listen to and obey His voice. We encourage them to respond with reverent and joyful obedience to the call of God on a daily and life long basis, from obeying a parent to hearing a call to take the gospel to a foreign land.

Immediately following KIDS Church is "community time" for the children. This is a time of games and snacks where they can build relationships and to learn to interact in healthy ways with others.

Service Projects

 
We want our children to model Jesus by serving the community. On the first Sunday evening of
the month the children go on different service projects. These projects are facilitated by adults and assisted in leadership by 6th-8th graders
who are empowered and equipped to lead the younger children. Different projects have been to visit and play games with the elderly residing in assisted living facilities, play with children of mothers that have been victims of domestic violence, and make and collect food for local
food pantries.
Fall Festival
The Fall Festival is a family outreach event held each October where we invite families from the surrounding neighborhoods. We enjoy games, food, and fellowship in our back parking lot which is transformed into a festive and fun place. We
want to share Christ's love with our neighbors in
a friendly, no strings attached way. The entire church is involved in reaching out and serving
our neighbors.
