We believe that children, born and unborn, are valuable human beings who are in the strategically formative years of life. In light of this we make ministry to children a priority seeking to invest in them with our prayers, time, efforts, and finances.

Mission Statement:

Our goal is to assist parents in bringing their children to see, by God’s grace, the infinite worth of God in all His glory and to joyfully embrace the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ as their only hope for knowing God as their Father. In short- we are about God and the Gospel.

Teachers:

We have assembled a team of skilled and experienced teachers who love children and are committed to teaching God’s truth with excellence. These teachers are assisted by helpers who are likewise committed to the good of the children and the glory of God.

3 age divisions:

0 - 2 ½
2 ½ - 4
K - 3rd

Curriculum:

The curriculum we use is intended to reflect our mission of pointing children to God and the gospel.
Currently we are using curriculum called Generations of Grace produced by Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, CA.

Schedule:

0 - 2 ½ are the nursery from the beginning of the service
2 ½ - 4 and K - 3rd exit service and go to their classrooms at the conclusion of congregational singing (just prior to the sermon).

Other Important Notes:

We urge you, along with us, to always remember that you as parents are the primary and most important influences in your children’s lives on a day to day basis as you teach them God’s truth through an authentic example and consistent instruction.
Since children’s ministry is not offered for those in 4th grade and above your older children will be in service with you. We would encourage you to use this time as an opportunity to teach and guide your children in understanding the church and how to actively listen and participate in worship (this would also apply to your younger children for the time preceding their dismissal).
