Children
We aim to lovingly usher kids and families in our church and community into a lifelong relationship with Jesus.
Sunday Mornings
Nursery Care (All Morning)
Infants and children under 4 will be lovingly cared for in the nursery, to allow parents a peaceful time to worship and grow in their Christian faith. The nursery is located in Room F115, just off the Children’s Lobby in the Education Wing.
Children's Church (During the 9:00 a.m. Service)
Kids age 4 through 3rd grade attend the opening segment of worship with their parents and then are dismissed before the sermon for Children’s Church. During this time we offer a child-friendly program connecting stories throughout the Bible to God’s plan to rescue His people through His Son, Jesus Christ. After the service kids can be picked up in the Fellowship Hall (gym) located behind the Sanctuary.
Sunday School (10:15 - 11:15 a.m.)
AGE 4- 2nd GRADE - Room 101 in the Education Wing
We use a curriculum called “Simply Loved” through which kids journey chronologically through the Bible, and discover friendship with Jesus throughout God’s story.
3rd - 5th GRADE - Room 102 in the Education Wing
We use a curriculum called “Be Bold”, addressing common and sometimes complex faith questions and guiding kids through scripture for the answers.
Meals with Jesus
Family Dinner and Small Group
Wednesdays from 6:15 - 7:45 PM
In Fellowship Hall at the church
Please join us for Meals with Jesus, a journey through Luke's gospel for the whole family. Jets pizza provided. With these studies your family will have the chance to look Jesus in the eye, and ask your deepest questions and to hear Him speaking to you.
After dinner and the family devotion, kids can play while parents gather for a small group study of the Gospel of Mark, by Frances Chan.
No matter your faith background, where you live, or what church you belong to, we hope you can join us! All are welcome at Jesus' table!
