CHILDREN'S AND YOUTH MINISTRIES

“Through Christian education, guidance, and positive example, 
we give our children and youth tools for a Christian foundation
to help them grow throughout their life-long faith journeys.”

 

  • MOMSnext (Mothers of School-age Children):  A MOPS mom's group that meets every third Tuesday from 9:15 - 11:15 a.m., during the school year.  Meetings include refreshments, lively discussions, and fun activities, with some additional get-togethers offsite. All moms are welcome!
  • Sunday Childcare: Our nursery room is open on Sundays for parents to use during the worship service and a paid staff provider is available to care for children from birth through three years.
  • Sunday School:  Children attend worship for the first fifteen minutes with their families. They are invited to lead the Call to Worship and participate in a children's message after which they are invited to Sunday School.  Classes are held for children 3 years of age through 8th grade.
  • Welcome on Wednesdays (W.O.W) Arts for Kids: A mid-week program for children in kindergarten thru 8th grade. W.O.W meets on Wednesdays, 5:00 – 6:45 p.m. for two eight-week sessions each year.  The program includes dinner, arts/crafts, games, and music.  A small fee is collected to help cover supplies.
