children's ministry
Children are a welcome priority in our church. All children are invited to attend our various age-level classes and events:
Nursery, Sundays at 10:00am
Allow our loving staff to care for your infants and toddlers from birth up to 3 years of age while you worship, or come along with your crying or active little ones. Our nursery is located downstairs in Room 4. Our service is available on YouTube and KDUN Radio 1030AM if you want to stay connected while you're there.
Sunday Morning Live, 10:00am to 11:00am
Children age 3 through 5th grade can enjoy high-energy songs, Bible stories, and hands-on crafts led by excellent, caring teachers. Classes are divided by age level.
The Sunday Morning Live gang of Tom Foolery, Jess in Time, and Dan Druff introduce our video Bible lessons to the kids in person each Sunday. Click here to watch the video lessons again whenever you want!
Security
We want your kids to have a safe, fun time. For that reason, we use a check-in / check-out process to make sure all children leave with their correct caregivers.
Need a Ride?
We provide a safe, secure Sunday morning bus for kids and youth age 5 through high school. Please fill out a permission form to arrange pickup and drop off by clicking here.
