Our Heart For Kids

Our goal—and God’s desire—is that every child in our care feels loved, nurtured, and prepared to face whatever life brings.

Our ministry is designed to bring the Word of God to life in exciting and meaningful ways: from engaging Bible stories for our preschoolers to energetic worship and lessons for our elementary-aged kids.

We are blessed with a team of dedicated leaders and volunteers who love Jesus and love kids. They are passionate about pouring into families and helping children grow into lifelong followers of Christ.

The Word of God is alive and active in the hearts of our children—and we see it lived out every day!

Our Mission

The mission of our Children’s Ministry is:
  1. To nurture and train children in God’s Word so they may understand His love, truth, and purpose for their lives.
  2. To support and equip parents as they raise their children to know, love, and follow Jesus.
  3. To create a safe, joyful, and engaging environment where every child feels known, valued, and invited into a growing relationship with Jesus.
  4. To model Christ’s love and build a foundation of faith that lasts beyond childhood.
We pray that each child will come to know the Lord at an early age, grow in their faith, and boldly share the hope of Jesus with the world around them.

Our Curriculum

The Biggest Story

From Genesis to Revelation, kids will discover God’s amazing plan to redeem the world through Jesus! Engaging lessons, discussion questions, and activities, this curriculum makes learning the Bible exciting and easy to follow.
Preparing Preteens to Interact with the World Around Them
As preteens move toward their teenage years, the Bible can help refine their faith and prepare them to understand and interact with the world around them. Forged: Faith Refined is designed to sharpen preteens’ worldview according to biblical principles with age-appropriate discussions on truth, identity, and relationships.

THIS MONTH’S BIBLICAL THEME IS: GOD NEVER FAILS.
Whenever I do object lessons or teach kids, I always have a plan A, a plan B, and a plan C because how kids respond is unpredictable. God is so different from you and from me. He doesn’t need backup plans because His plan, His love, and His nature never change and never fail. So many kids have felt the sting of disappointment. From the loss of friends and a favorite pet to broken homes and the constant reminder on the news that our world is falling apart in so many ways.
What we need to remind our kids this month is how, in the book of Judges, people failed God and each other, but God never failed them. And Jesus never fails us. Even when things look bleak because of the sinful nature and sinful men, we have a sure and certain hope anchored in an unfailing God. (Hebrews 6:19)

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED TO BRING WITH THEM?
Our elementary kids only need to bring their Bible. If they do not have one, please let us know! We’d love to provide one for them. All toys and electronics should be left at home.  
WHAT TIME CAN I DROP OFF MY CHILD?
For Sunday Life Groups and Worship, children can be checked in beginning at 8:45 AM. On Wednesday nights, check-in begins at 5:45 PM. Children are allowed to play on the indoor playground before check-in as long as a parent or guardian is present.
ARE VOLUNTEERS BACKGROUND CHECKED?
All of our team members, those you see inside and outside of the classroom setting, have gone through a thorough screening process of an application, background checks, and training.
