Children
Connections for children age 4 through grade 5
Each Sunday, children are invited to participate in a safe, fun, and purposeful time of learning. Children’s Sunday School meets during the 9:15 am Worship Service starting after the Children’s Moment presentation until 10:00am. Our Sunday School staff consists of volunteers who care for your children and teach them about God’s awesome power and great love for us! The children’s safety is of utmost importance. Therefore, each child will check in at the Children’s Ministry welcome desk and a sticker will be given to both the child and the adult who will be picking up the child. Only the person with the child’s corresponding sticker will be allowed into the area for pick up.
Throughout the next year, the Children's Ministry will offer several events for children and families including: Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Service Projects, Fall Festival, Sunday School Prayer Walk, Dedication and Rededication of Sunday School Volunteers, Children and Parents Praying Together, Walk With Jesus (Holy Week) and more…
