Deuteronomy 11:18 “You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

Our Ministry
Our children remain in the sanctuary for the first half of the service so that they will grow up experiencing communal worship and that they will feel an inclusive part of the congregation. The congregation in turn is blessed by their presence since children are a blessing of God. At the midpoint of the service the children gather together at the front of the sanctuary for a children's story and song. They then go downstairs to our recently renovated children's rooms for the remainder of the service where they are divided into two age groups, nursery (0-6 years) and Sunday School (7-12 years). Through age appropriate Bible stories, lessons, crafts, and fun activities, the children learn the redemptive story of God in Christ.
