In our Sunday morning ministry we lead children to hear about God’s love and  explore the Bible in ways

that feed their imagination and encourage creativity while giving them the

tools to incorporate their faith into their daily lives. 

    sunday school, birth - Pre-Kindergarten

    Children in Pre-Kindergarten and below attend Chapel during their 10:30am Sunday School hour. They meet in Room 4 of the Worship Center and transition to Room 3 for chapel where where they begin by bringing in the Light of Christ. Next they celebrate the Bible and participate in the giving of their offering, then hear and experience the Bible story together. They end with a prayer and a reminder that they can always carry the Light Of Christ with them in their hearts.  

    sunday school, Kindergarten - 3rd grade
