Children's Ministry 🗓

Children are always welcome to worship with their family. For children between Pre-K and 5th grade, they can also choose to join the Children's Church. Please note that, on every 1st Sunday of the month, all kids are invited to Family Worship. Worshiping with their family, they will have a chance to read, pray, sing and dance to children's song, and/or listen to an age-appropriate message! Reach out to Kelly for more info!
