Our goal is to help our children become true disciples of Jesus Christ by building relationships with them, being examples for them and teaching them God’s Word.
Sunday School and Child Care
We're excited to welcome your children on Sunday morning! Orange, our vibrant Sunday School strategy for preschool through 8th grade, combines the light of the church (yellow) with the heart of the family (red) to form a lifelong faith in Christ (orange). Each month has a theme—kindness, love—that is carried through with easy lessons to do at home. There’s even an app (Parent Cue) that you can use on the go! The result? Home + Church = Greater Impact.
Sunday School for K-8 kids takes place at 9:00 am and 10:30 am on the lower level. Nursery and Pre-K meet in rooms 211 and 215. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to "check-in."

Intergenerational Sundays
On Intergenerational Sundays, children are in worship with us, the children's choirs sing at the 10:30 am service, the scripture follows the Sunday School lesson plan, and the sermon is family-friendly! One transept also is transformed into a "Creative Worship Center" with colorful rugs for kids to sit on, coloring pages, and bingo games. Please note that the nursery in Room 211 is open for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers on Intergenerational Sundays.
Intergenerational Sunday Dates: December 22, February 2, March 9, and May 4
Kids Club + Music
Crafts, games, Bible stories, music - it all adds up to faith-based fun for K-8 kids every Thursday from 4:00 to 6:00 pm from September through May. Pizza is served every Thursday at 6:00 pm!
