How CHildren's Ministry works
Before Service: You can check in your child at a available kids clubhouse kiosk on the south end of the foyer. After finding or adding you and your child’s name in the database, you will be given matching name tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you hold on to the matching tag. Children 4 and under can be dropped off in the nursery before service begins. Children grades K-5 will go with you into service for the first 10 minutes for music.
During Service: After the opening songs there will be a brief prayer over the children and then they will be released to children's church. About 10 minutes before the worship service concludes near communion time, all K-5 children will be returned to their parents or guardians by children's ministry attendants. In the event that we need to contact you during the service, one of our children's ministry workers will text you or come get you.
After Service: Once service is over you may return to the nursery to pickup any children you have checked in. The playground will also be open at this time for any kids that want to get their wiggles out.

What Happens in Children's Church?
Our Sunday morning children’s ministry is designed to help kids grow in faith, build friendships, and discover the story of Jesus in a way they can truly understand. Each week, kids experience a fun and meaningful time that includes songs, games, crafts, and a Bible-based lesson taught through stories they can relate to.
We use The Gospel Project for Kids—a Christ-centered, chronological Bible study from Lifeway that helps kids see how all of Scripture points to Jesus. From Genesis to Revelation, children discover that the Bible isn’t just a collection of stories—it’s one big story about God’s love and redemption through Jesus Christ.
Every lesson is:
Our goal is simple: when we repeat the gospel, kids remember the gospel—and that changes everything. We’re excited to partner with you in helping your kids know, follow and love like Jesus!

- Christ-centered: It’s all about Jesus—every story connects to Him.
- Chronological: Kids follow the Bible’s narrative from beginning to end, helping them see how each part fits into God’s bigger plan.
- Heart-transforming: Lessons go beyond behavior, encouraging real spiritual growth and a lasting relationship with Jesus.
- Age-aligned: All age groups study the same passage each week, making it easier for families to talk about what they’re learning together.
- Mission-focused: Kids are challenged to live out and share the gospel in their own lives.
