The church’s mission is to “Connect All People to Jesus Christ.” In Children’s Ministry, we connect our youngest people! No matter their starting point, we help kids develop in their lifelong journey with God. We talk about God’s big story and help them see the active role they can play by becoming more and more like Jesus.

Every weekend we provide loving care for kids ages infant to three years old, and fun, age-appropriate, Bible-based activities and teaching for kids for ages four years old through fifth grade. We also host Discovery Days Preschool, Vacation Bible School and seasonal family events.

(NOT-SO) FRIGHTENING FRIDAY

In October each year, we join with the downtown District for a fun-filled Halloween event. The date is announced in the fall. Join us at the church for games, prizes and Trunk-or-Treat.

LIVING WINDOWS FESTIVAL 

As part of The District’s Living Windows event in December, our church takes you on a “Journey To Bethlehem”, where you can follow the Christmas story in person! Children see the Heavenly Host visiting the shepherds, Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem, and see Jesus in the Manger. After your trip with us, you can walk around The District and enjoy the other Living Windows displays.
