Children Ministries
We want to make sure that your child has an opportunity each week to learn about and build a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Sunday School
Our lessons encourage people to focus on the most important thing in life - a growing relationship with Jesus.
Matthew 19:13-14
One day some parents brought their children to Jesus so he could lay his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples scolded the parents for bothering him. But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” And he placed his hands on their heads and blessed them before he left.
We strive to help students focus on this one thing - a growing relationship with Jesus. We do this by providing meaningful activities, having great discussions and personal challenges, and converting past Bible knowledge into heart and life change.
