Here's What We're All About...

Weekend Classes

Classes for children in Grades K-5 are provided at 5:00 or 6:30 pm on Saturday or 9:30 or 11:00 am on Sunday. Gradeschoolers sing, pray and learn from God's Word in fun, age-appropriate ways. Small groups encourage building friendships with peers and teachers.



Children's Church

Children are welcome to worship with their families on the weekends in the Worship Center. During each service, kindergartners, first and second graders are released before the sermon for church-time activities in the lower level classroom.

Eight-week sessions teach kids skills for living successfully in high stress situations. The facilitator/student ratio is 1:4.
