Children
sHapEd bY GOd
All people are uniquely shaped by God, and children begin discovering what that shape looks like from an early age. From newborn infants all the way to 6th grade, kids take off on a journey of exploration that leads them to realize who they are and who God wants them to be, i.e. children of God.
We want people to embrace the truth that Dad and Mom are the primary spiritual influencers of their family, for good or bad. This truth is foundational to our children’s ministry! Our goal is to provide the tools and encouragement for parents to accept this role with wisdom and even excitement. Only you can lead your family the way God intends! God, in His great wisdom, intentionally placed each individual in each family.
Wednesday Nights
Typically on the first Wednesday of the month, we have what we call Worship With Family or WWF. At each of these events, we have a meal together at 5:45pm followed by a worship time as families in the worship center. Childcare is available for 4's and under. Each WWF night includes fun family games, engaging worship songs, a strong missionary emphasis, and there's always the possibility of a surprise. For more information or to RSVP for the next WWF meal, email the church.
For the other Wednesday nights, we encourage families to gather around their own personal family devotional time. Resources can be found on the WWF resource page or by clicking here.

Sunday Mornings
During Life Connection hours, kids have their own Bible study time where they explore the Bible with others in their grade or age level. Children as young as 2 years old begin being taught the foundational truths of Scripture. All kids from 2 years old to 2nd grade will study the same Bible lesson weekly.
Third through sixth graders have an incredible ability to think and understand Scriptures which is why we have chosen a different curriculum for them. In their classes, these students dive deep into the Word of God to understand and follow its truths.
In all classes, parent participation is greatly encouraged. How wonderful it is when parents can attend and participate with their child’s class on a monthly, bi-monthly, or even quarterly basis! If you want your kids to get excited about going to church, studying the Bible, praying, and knowing God, then you must model that excitement for them. To aid parents in having spiritual discussions at home, a weekly email is sent out which includes a summary review, questions, and activities which reinforce the weekly lesson. If you would like to receive this email, please contact us requesting to be added to the list.
During the Worship Services, an extended care time is provided by background-checked volunteers of the church for infants through the preK class. In these classes, pieces from our curriculum are used to continue teaching the week’s lesson in order to build on the weekly message.
Kids in kindergarten and 1st grade attend the song service with parents, but are dismissed prior to the sermon to go to K-1 chapel. Adult volunteers accompany the children in the transition to chapel time.
