Children's Ministry is organized through a team of leaders serving children from birth through fifth grade.  We meet monthly to discuss each area of Children & Family Ministries to ensure we are serving Christ through my offering Him our very best for the children and families attended our classes, programs and events.

Mission Statement
Children’s Ministry is a place to grow in God’s love where we model Christ-like relationships to lead children to become disciples of Jesus Christ.  We want our children to know that faith is not something we practice on Sunday morning and forget  the rest of the week. The Christian journey affects all of life. We need to understand that Christian life is ‘more caught than taught’ … more
