Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
During every service, we offer a dedicated, age-appropriate ministry for children and teens. Our Children's and Youth Ministries are designed to partner with you, the parent, by building a solid foundation in Christ at church that reinforces your teaching at home. We provide a safe, nurturing environment where young people can develop Christ-centered friendships and grow into a lifelong love for the Lord.

Vision
Our vision in this ministry is to create a foundation of faith rooted and built up in Jesus Christ and His Word (Colossians 2:6–7), and to teach the children how to love one another just as Jesus has loved us (John 15:12). Our hope is that through this ministry and each Bible study, the children will learn and grow in their own faith, receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and become children of God (John 1:12–13).

Our Purpose
Encounter God
Accepting each child with their unique abilities, and praying with them and for them. (Matthew 19: 14)
Elevated by His Spirit
Praising Jesus Christ through worship and witnessing to each child by the guidance of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:8)
Equipped through His Word
Teaching the Word of God to every child, recognizing and supporting their unique abilities. (Ephesians 4:12)
Evangelize the One
Loving the least of these through service and fellowship. (Matthew 25:40)
What Will Your Kids Be Learning?
Each Bible study provides 1.5 hours with every child in the classroom. Our intention is to make each minute count as we use the Shared Faith curriculum to make the teaching of God’s Word accessible to children with disabilities.
Through these lessons, children will be taught studies from Genesis to Revelation and receive the full counsel of God’s Word through engaging videos, PowerPoint slides for visual learners, and hands-on activities that reinforce each lesson’s focus.
In every class, children are encouraged to participate in Bible study, worship, prayer, and fellowship through our prayer cards and Bible-based activities. We seek to imitate the love of Christ by modeling godly behavior in every interaction and conversation with children and their families.
