Ministry to children is provided at both of our worship services.  We feel strongly that our children should be trained up in the ways of the Lord and that teaching should be age appropriate.  To maximize the teaching of God's Word, our corporate services are designed for adult audiences.  Children 5th Grade and under are not permitted in the main sanctuary during any of our corporate worship services.
 
Below are the current age breakdowns for our children's ministry:
 
0-1 Year Olds
The Toddler Ministry is the place of first impression where children experience the love of God through His church.  As toddlers encounter loving volunteers, they learn what it means to belong to the larger family of God and parents can feel completely comfortable with the care their children receive.
 
2yr Olds - Kindergarten
The Preschool Ministry is where children begin to embrace God as their Heavenly Father.  We want them to know that God loves them and wants to be their friend.  We do this by teaching God's Word at their own comprehension level so that the principles and truths of Scripture become relevant to them at their early stage in life.
 
1st - 5th Grade
The Elementary Ministry is where children are introduced to the critical concept of trusting God.  Through interactive Bible Studies, the kids are engaged in small group discussion.  These small groups help them digest what they have been taught.  Parents will be given a weeks' worth of fun and engaging devotions so that they can reinforce
the Bible lesson with their child.
