“Start the children off on the way they should go and then even when they are old they will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
Children's Ministry
Christian Formation | 10:30 am (during Community Worship)
After spending the first part of Community Worship with their families, children are invited into their classrooms for Christian Formation. Classes are split up into Preschool/Kindergarten and 1st-5th graders with the curriculum in each class designed to provide students with a knowledge of Bible stories and lessons with an understanding that the Word is God’s gift to us. We believe that all of us are uniquely and beautifully made by God and this is foundational to our Christian Formation curriculum; children are empowered to love themselves and love each other as they grow as disciples.

This group experiences community much like the church in Acts if you stir in a lot of fun. All the believers [in the 50+ age group] devote themselves to the Apostles' teaching [Bible/book study and discussion] and fellowship [both laughter and serious conversation] and to sharing meals [potlucks] and to prayer [praise, thanksgiving and intercession].
