Our Vision for Children's Ministries
To help children know God, grow in grace, and show God's love to others by:

  • Preparing and encouraging them to worship.
  • Providing exciting Bible learning experiences.
  • Demonstrating God's grace.
  • Providing opportunities for them to reach out to others in love.

Our Values
Child-centered: we evaluate all that we do from the child's perspective.
Safe: we want to create a safe physical, emotional, and spiritual environment.
Multi-sensory: we believe that children can be intelligent in many different ways. By appealing to different learning styles, we hope to reach every child in his/her best mode.
Relevant: we want the children to know the great Bible stories, but more importantly, we want them to apply the learning from each story to their lives.
Fun!!! Sunday School can be just as exciting as Vacation Bible School!!! Children need to know that being a Christian doesn't mean being bored!
