Children & Youth
“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these,” said Jesus in Matthew 19:14. We believe that children of all ages are a gift and treasure from God, and they are to be taught and raised up to know just how much they are loved.
Through our programs on Sunday mornings and Wednesday afternoons throughout the year, children learn how the Bible fits into their lives, how to talk to God, and what it means to be a lifelong follower of Jesus. Children take the gospel to heart, building a foundation – and often, friendships – that last for the rest of their lives. Any of our greeters would be happy to direct you and your children to the right place.
We offer the Children's Worship & Wonder Program
Sunday Mornings
- Infants/Preschool/Kindergarten
Our Nursery & Preschool area is located just to the right of the main entrance. A Mother & Baby Room is also available next to the Sanctuary, if you would like to stay with your baby while still participating in the service.
- Sunday School
We provide age appropriate classes for our children, youth and adults every Sunday morning beginning at 9:30. The crafts are always fun, the lessons and discussion are always lively and God is always glorified. Ask your greeter as you enter where the class that suits you best is located.

Children's Worship and Wonder program is offered to children each Sunday morning during our morning worship service. Children's Worship & Wonder respects the ways children learn today by offering learning activities that are experiential, image-rich, multi-sensory, interactive, engaging, and varied in learning style.
In Children Worship & Wonder we provide an environment which provides opportunities for children to experience and imagine how their personal story is intertwined with the Bible and Christian tradition.
They learn about sacred spaces in which they are encouraged to wonder and ask questions. The adults often answer these questions with “I wonder…” discussions. They respect each other and the spaces but doing small gestures like “walking slower” and “speaking softer”.
