Birth – 5th grade
Helping your children grow in faith.
Rooted in Jesus.
Designed for relationship.
Built to support your whole family.
Faith isn’t just taught.
It’s experienced
Together.
We believe childhood is one of the most important times to begin a lifelong journey of faith. Our Children’s Ministry is designed to help kids explore, practice, and live out their faith in ways that are fun, meaningful, and deeply rooted in the love of Jesus. We intentionally create opportunities for kids to build friendships and discover what it means to be part of a faith community.
We also know parenting is a team effort – so we partner with families to help nurture faith at home and at church.
What to Expect
Raising kids in faith takes more than Sunday mornings.
Christ-Centered Teaching
Each week points kids to the love of Jesus in ways they can understand and live out.
Faith That Goes Beyond Sundays
We give families tools to keep growing in faith at home all week long.
Real Friendship
In all we do, we want to help your child developing true friendship with their peers.
Safe + Welcoming Spaces
Our rooms are secure, inclusive, and designed to help every child feel known and loved.
Engaged, Consistent Leaders
Your child will see familiar faces each week who know them and show up with care.
Spiritual Milestones
We celebrate big faith moments and help you mark them as a family along the way.
Sunday Morning Check-In
When you arrive, head to our Kids Check-In Station and enter the last four digits of your phone number into the iPad.
Nursery (ages 0–2) is open before and during services – drop off any time.
Sunday School begins after the Children’s Message in the sanctuary. Kids sit with you at the beginning of service, then head to their classrooms with their leaders.
