Investing in the Next Generation

Children & Families Discipleship


Equipping Families to Make Disciples


Our Children and Families Ministry Strives to:

Share the love of Jesus with the next generation

Engage children and families together as they grow in knowledge and faith

Nurture disciples who love Jesus and can then nurture other disciples  


Through exploring God’s Word, heartfelt discussions, and fun activities - we want kids and everyone to know:

God loves and cares for you each day

Jesus wants to be your friend, no matter what

The Holy Spirit can give you strength, direction, comfort, and peace
