Children

God’s Word permeates all that we do with our children. We teach them the truth of God's love through the gospel, equip them to be followers of Jesus in our broken world, and facilitate opportunities for them to grow in fellowship with their peers. Our partnership with parents and committed volunteers from our church body gives great depth to this ministry.
