We desire to partner with families to facilitate, celebrate and encourage each child’s growing relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Our desire is to receive and experience God’s presence with and through the children he has graciously given us. Our goal is to nurture faith through playful experiences of worship, scripture learning, fellowship and outreach.

Our Early Childhood ministry focuses on welcoming young ones (and their parents) into a warm and loving community of faith. We provide a safe and familiar environment for toddlers and pre-schoolers to begin to explore their world and their relationships. Through early loving experiences young children begin to know a loving God.

Our Elementary Age Ministry focuses on encouraging the individual faith of each child. Bible learning becomes more reflective and intentional and opportunities for outreach and service are included. Our adult leaders along with the community of children seek to help each one become a growing friend and follower of Jesus Christ.
