Welcome to Children's Ministries!

Our goal is to provide a great worship experience for your child in a way that is meaningful to them; an experience that they will want to continue as they grow. We want to share God's love with them and encourage them to grow as disciples for Christ.

We ask that all parents fill out a registration form for their children once a year. This enables us to make sure we have age appropriate curriculum and activities for everyone and also allows us medical information on the kids and contact information for the parents. Registration forms can be found on the website on the Online Library section.

Children's Praise Music
Children's Praise Music Something that has been missing from our Children's Ministries for a while now is music. We are finally going to try to correct this. We will be singing and playing Praise music during Children's Worship on the first Sunday of each month at both services. We are going to try to start with music and hand bells and hopefully add some other hand instruments. If you are interested in helping or have some music ability to share, please let Barbara know.

Children's Church
Each Sunday at both 8:30 and 10:45 services, children will begin their worship experience in the Sanctuary with their families. They will then be escorted out by our volunteers to share in a more age-appropriate worship service.

Sunday school
Our Sunday school classes are held in the Education building are broken down by grade. Kindergarten and 1st graders are taught in room 303. This class is taught by Leisa Duga and Deanna Bourgeois. 2nd and 3rd graders are in room 307 and are taught by Debbie Burkett. 4th and 5th graders are in room 309. This class is taught by Celeste Harris and Barbara Roy.

Children's Ministries is in need of many volunteers to help in the spiritual development of our children. The children love seeing parents helping on Sunday mornings or during special events. If you would be interested in helping or would like additional information, please contact Barbara Roy.

We have been blessed to have such growth occurring in our Children’s Worship in the past few months. We have outgrown our current Worship room. So effective March 4th, we will be relocating to the ‘old room’ in the Fellowship building. Just look for the signs!

Due to the growth of our Children’s Worship, we not only need a bigger room, we also need more helpers! Helpers simply provide support for the leader... pass out supplies, help with projects, etc. Please consider being a helper and email Barbara at BarbaraRoy68@gmail.com. Please also let me know if you would be interested in being a Worship leader!
