We believe that every child is wonderful, created in the image of God.
We believe that every child is wonderful, created in the image of God. Our hope is to provide a foundational and enriching environment for our children and youth, enabling them to experience God’s love, grow in their Christian faith and discipleship, and discover opportunities for service within the church and in the broader community.
Children of all ages are welcomed into the worship service. A nursery is located on the second floor for children ages 0-3, as needed by families. There is also a welcome area at the back of the sanctuary with books, coloring supplies, and quiet toys to help parents of restless children.
Each week, children are invited to the front steps of the sanctuary for a Children’s Sermon. Following this, children go together to a Sunday School class.
Older children are invited to lead in worship on a regular basis by reading scripture and prayers, serving as ushers and greeters, or sharing musical talents. Younger children have opportunities to lead by lighting candles, helping their parents, or joining the Children’s Pageants.
Throughout the year, children and youth engage in activities to grow in friendship, spirit and service.

Every spring, children who are old enough to desire baptism or church membership have the opportunity to participate in a class to learn about faith, the Bible, and discipleship.
Yes, we have weekly Sunday School for children ages 4 and up and a nursery for children 0-3.
All ages of children are invited to attend worship with their families at 10 am. Near the beginning of the service, there is a Children’s Message, and then children go upstairs together with their teachers for Sunday School.
We have periodic events for families and children, such as apple-picking and hayrides in the fall, a weeklong Vacation Bible School and Service Trips in the summer. Each December there is a Children’s Christmas Program.
