This is an open gym/playgroup for parents and grandparents of preschoolers or younger. We have different centers/activities/themes each week to keep it new and exciting for the children. Occasionally we meet at a local park for outdoor play. Snacks are provided for the children and coffee for adults. This is a time of fun and active play for the children with fellowship for the parents. Come when you can and bring a friend or two. Volunteer helpers are welcome.

Children’s Worship

Young Children’s Worship is available for children ages 3 through 3rd grade. Children begin the adult worship service with their parents and are released to the Children’s Worship Center after an opening time with adults. The worship is led by an adult Story Teller with the aid of helpers. The experience is designed to introduce children to elements of worship (having a special place for worship, receiving a greeting, presenting their gifts, praising God through music, preparing their hearts to experience God, experiencing God through His stories, a time of response to His word, a time of thanksgiving and feast, receiving a closing blessing). Children’s Worship follows the church calendar.

Sunday School
Preschool (age 4) – 5th grade

Using “Children Desiring God” curriculum, we seek to equip the body of Christ to spread to the next generations a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples through Jesus Christ. Our aim is to impart to children a vision of God, who He is, and who we are in relation to Him, and to establish them with a foundation of doctrine and truth. We want them biblically grounded, seeing God as the hero of every story, with a God-centered world view and a faith that will hold them when the days of testing come. We want them to love the Lord their God with all their heart, and to delight in Him forever.
