Children’s Sunday School Classes

Begin at 10:10 am each Sunday.

Children’s Sunday School is open, without charge, to all children ages 6 months thru Grade 5. Teachers are trained volunteers who love children, are committed to their spiritual nurture, and serve as faith journey companions. Children are placed in classes based on their age or school grade as of Sept. 1 of current year.

Children First

Child led worship for the whole family - every first Sunday of the month at 9:00 am.

Family-friendly worship every first Sunday of the month at 9:00 am.

Children First is a highly interactive worship experience geared towards families with children. Children not only participate in worship but also help lead the congregation. There's lots of singing, dancing and learning important lessons about how much God loves everyone.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer to help in the service please contact our Children's Ministry Director, Megan Getman

Created By God: a workshop for 5th and 6th Graders

The next Created by God workshop will be on: February 8, 9 and 10, 2018

Created by God is a human sexuality education program for 5th and 6th graders and their parents. brings together fifth and sixth graders, their parents and adult leaders for a faith-filled, comprehensive study of human sexuality - anatomy, growth and development, reproduction, and God's call to intimacy and responsibility. This is an excellent opportunity to start or continue learning with your child in a safe and faithful setting.

You and your son or daughter are invited to participate in a special upcoming event called Created by God, a study of human sexuality with a Christian foundation. As you well know, young persons in upper elementary and middle school are growing physically, mentally, and socially at a rapid pace, and many are full of questions and emotions. Created by God offers you and your child an opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate the fact that we have each been wonderfully created by God, and are called to responsible living as sexual beings.

F.I.S.H.

F.I.S.H.(Fifth In Service to Him) is a 5th grade ministry group focused on service. We gather once a month on Sunday afternoon for some fun, some service projects and to share a meal. Through fun service projects we will explore what it means to follow God in all our actions, not just in worship on Sundays. For most of these gatherings we will end with a meal shared. If you have questions or are interested in participating, please contact Megan.
