Children's Ministry
“Train up a child in the way of the Lord”
We have many programs for children of all ages. Kids will experience the stories of God in a hands-on way at each of our sites. Children are invited to participate in special programs and Sunday school - and friends are always welcome! We also strive to support parents in raising their children. We are honored to partner with parents. We know the home is the faith forming place and the church is the family forming center.

MOPS Groups
(Mothers of Preschoolers)
MOPS groups are communities that strive to meet the needs of every mom with children from birth through kindergarten. MOPS recognizes that urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home moms, teen, single, and married moms all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be. MOPS groups can help! MOPS groups meet regularly to celebrate the joys of motherhood and to encourage each other through the challenges.

Pioneer Club is a church-sponsored club for boys and girls age 4-5th grade. This Christ-centered program integrates spiritual and personal development, and gives children the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends and have fun while developing Christian values.
Pioneer Club is different than Sunday School in that, it has a scouting-like atmosphere with skits, cooking, awards and various other activities.

Christmas experience where participants do more than just hear about the birth of Jesus-they'll see, touch, feel, and smell what life was like during this miraculous time.* They will hear festive music, wander through the bakery and create fun projects in the marketplace shops and meet shepherds who can’t wait to share a remarkable story.
