Children Education

“If any of you puts a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Jesus: Matthew 18:6

 

Children are a vital part of our community of faith and we

 welcome them and value their presence among us! We offer a variety of programs for children of all ages, including weekly Sunday School classes, special activities throughout the school year, and our annual summer Vacation Bible School.

 

We welcome children to worship and we invite them to enjoy using the worship activity bags found on the coat trees just outside of the Sanctuary doors. Children are also encouraged to participate in the “Time with Children” each week during the service.

 

Childcare is provided in our Nursery on the lower level of the building during Sunday School classes and Sunday morning worship, as well as during special worship services and events throughout the year. Our childcare staff is dedicated to making our nursery a safe and comfortable place for all of its guests.

 

Sunday School

Sunday School classes for children and youth of all ages are held on the lower level of the church at 9:00 a.m. each Sunday morning. Join us as we learn, grow, and have a good time together on Sunday mornings!
