“Every Christian family ought to be as it were a little church, consecrated to Christ, and wholly influenced and governed by His rules."
(Jonathan Edwards)
BUT JESUS SAID, “LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME TO ME AND DO NOT HINDER THEM, FOR TO SUCH BELONGS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.”
Matthew 19:14
God cares about families…
so the church should care about families. We are committed to reaching families that do not know Christ and investing in families through discipleship.
Investing in Parents as Disciplers
Although the family can’t replace the local church, it should act as a church as parents shepherd and disciple the children in their home. We want to do everything we can to support families in this endeavor. If you are a parent or guardian, any of our pastors or children leaders would love to meet with you to discuss how we can help prepare you to fulfill your role as disciplers of your kids.
WHEN DOES GOSPEL KIDS MEET?
Our children's ministry serves babies to 5th grade with Gospel-focused programming on Sundays and Wednesdays. We strive to create a safe and secure environment for children to grow in their faith and understanding of God.
Sunday MORNINGS
9:15 AM and 11 AM | Nursery - 5th Grade
Our Sunday morning programming includes weekly Bible stories, activities, and crafts designed to create a foundational understanding of God's word in a way that is interactive, engaging, and FUN for kids. Our team of Children's Ministry Leaders are passionate about investigating in the youngest members of our church family on a weekly basis.
WEDNESDAY EVENINGS
6:15 PM - 8:15 PM | Nursery - 5th Grade
Our Wednesday evening programming is designed to "dig deeper" into our Sunday morning Bible story through small group discussion and games designed to reinforce the key themes from our story. This is our ‘Community Group’ for Kids. Our kids look forward to Wednesday nights because they have the opportunity to enjoy some extra time with their friends while learning more about who God is.
