We WELCOME you to the world of ministry
for/with/by children. God is present in the lives of children who are
smiling and making new discoveries, in energetic children in a group setting,
and in the voices of children singing and learning. Children's Ministry is
a very important part of our church family. Our commitment is to teach
children the importance of having Christ in their lives, how to apply what they
read in the Bible to their everyday living, and to support them as they walk
their path of spiritual growth. Our hope is that every child will know
that they are loved and valued by God, their church, their family, and their
peers.
The Cribbery (nursery) toys are cleaned every
Sunday morning after the 11:00 Worship Service.

CHILDREN AND WORSHIP
Children
and Worship is an exciting way for children to experience God while learning
about God. It helps children worship in a special place apart from the
worshiping congregation in the sanctuary so they learn to worship meaningfully
with the congregation. Children and Worship uses the sensorimotor style of
storytelling as the young children work with story figures and art materials to
experience the stories of the Bible. The Children and Worship room is a
"very special place" where the children learn in an age appropriate way how to
worship God.
