Children & Youth Ministry
Weekly Children & Youth Programs
Children's Sunday School
Our children, ages 3 to 13, have the option of Sunday School during the 10:00 a.m. traditional worship service.
Children’s ministry is designed to nurture the spiritual growth of young children in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way. Each Sunday, children come together to explore the teachings of the Bible through creative activities, stories, songs, and hands-on learning. In children’s ministry, kids have the opportunity to discover the love of God, build friendships, and develop a strong foundation of faith. Every Sunday, children participate in dynamic lessons, interactive games, crafts, and worship, all tailored to help them understand Biblical principles and apply them to their everyday lives. It’s a welcoming environment where children are encouraged to ask questions, explore their faith, and grow in their relationship with God.
All children are welcome!

Our Middle and High School students engage in a vibrant, community-focused program designed to support and guide young people as they navigate their faith journey. It’s a space where students come together to grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, and learn how to live out their beliefs in everyday life. When students meet for youth ministry, they engage in a variety of activities that promote both personal and communal growth. These activities often include Bible study, group discussions, service projects, and fun social events.
