SUNDAY MORNINGS
During the school year, we offer programming for children from 4 months old to 6th grade during our 9 a.m. service and 4 months old to 4th grade during our 10:45 a.m. service.
All programming utilizes The Gospel Project curriculum which helps children learn the overarching narrative of Scripture while emphasizing God’s plan to redeem the world through Jesus Christ. Each weekend, children learn how to praise the Lord through large group worship, hear the good news of the gospel through age-appropriate teaching, and experience intentional discipleship through small group discussions and activities.
Families are also welcome and encouraged to worship together in our main services on Sunday morning in addition to attending Children’s Ministry programming.
New Families, pre-register and save time on Sunday morning!

Do you have a special needs ministry?
Our Special Needs Ministry is here to support and celebrate every child’s unique abilities. If your child has special needs or a disability, we’d love to partner with you by providing a dedicated Buddy. These trained individuals offer one-on-one attention to ensure your child feels included, loved, and cared for during their time with us. To request a Buddy, simply complete the form below. We are honored to come alongside your family!
SERVE WITH US!
We are continually seeking more children’s ministry volunteers who are willing to commit to serving regularly, building relationships with kids, and engaging them with the gospel of Christ. Our Children’s Ministry staff will provide you with a biblical vision for discipling children, equip you with the tools you’ll need to lead specific age groups, and review essential safety policies and procedures. There are many different roles in Children’s Ministry such as teacher, room leader, caregiver, discipleship group leader, and buddy.
