(NURSERY TO FIFTH GRADE)
Our role in Children's Ministry is to support and encourage the ministry of the parents. This happens organically in the church family in a variety of ways.
Our prayer is that children would see a vibrant faith in their parents and in the family of the church. We ask the Lord that He would give children in our church the gift of faith that endures to the end and leads to generations of godliness.
Our aim is to impart to children a vision of God, who He is, and who we are in relation to Him. To establish them with a foundation of doctrine and truth. We want children to be biblically grounded, seeing God as the hero of every story, with a God-centered worldview and a faith that will hold them when the days of testing come.

Worship Gathering: 10:00-11:30am
Children are invited to be a part of the worship service, as we believe there is a special joy in having children worship God with their families. We do, however, offer childcare for those who desire to use it.
Sprouts (0-3 yrs.): Lower Level
You can check your child in from 15 minutes before the worship service, or anytime during the service.

Joy Kids (Kindergarten-3rd Grade): Firehouse Building
Our Joy Kids will join us for the music and prayer portion of our worship service before being dismissed prior to the sermon. Please sign them in as you enter the church building before the worship service begins. Our childcare volunteers will walk the children over to the Firehouse building. Children can be picked up from the Firehouse Biuilding.

Mom & Baby Rooms: Lower Level
We currently have two "Mom & Baby" rooms which are equipped with changing tables, rocking chairs, and other baby items and toys. Feel free to use them anytime during our worship service. They are equipped with TV's that will simulcast the worship service so you won't miss out!
