Nothing is more important to us than growing kids God's way! We want every child who walks through our doors to come to a saving knowledge of Christ and grow in faith. Our Children’s Ministry Team is committed to partnering with the family in raising 5G Kids!

All children are in need of grace and have the opportunity to respond to it, then receive encouragement to share this gift with others.
Colossians 2:6-7
Kids’ faith should cause them to change from the inside out, with this change evident to others.
Mark 3:14; Acts 2:46
All children share a common need to feel connected. Consistent small groups serve as a safe setting for spiritual growth.

The Family eXperience is a monthly time of worship throughout the school year where kids take their parents to learn! Biblical virtues that we teach in Life Groups are introduced through Bible stories, music, drama, creative movement, and video presentations.
