CHILDREN'S MINISTRY



Nursery

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these."  Matthew 19:14

Nursery is available each Sunday during church for children up to five years old.  They can play upstairs under the supervision of adults of the church.

Children are encouraged to attend church with their parents.  Periodically there is a children's message during the service.  There is a Cry Room located in the rear of the Sanctuary for those with infants who might need to feed or calm their child without leaving the service.

Class 3 - grades 4 through 6
(See Youth Ministry for grades 7 through 12 and Adult Ministries for other classes)
