Children’s Ministry – Children’s Ministry is provided during our Worship Gatherings for children ages birth to 5th grade. Children are supervised by qualified and caring children’s workers who teach them through crafts, Bible stories, and group interaction. It is our goal to provide each child a loving, caring, and fun atmosphere where they can enjoy age appropriate learning about God's character and His plan for their lives. Currently childcare workers serve one month on and two months off. All childcare workers are required to complete a background check prior to serving in the childcare area. The children’s ministry is separated into three areas. All team members are asked to attend two church wide team meetings per year, and one training event connected with their team.
