Children's Church

For pre-K and K. Parents, if you desire to have your child experience celebratory worship (whole group time) and an intimate time with Jesus (small group time) we invite your child to participate in Children’s Church.

This summer’s program "Heroes of the Faith: Yesterday and Today" will take a worldwide journey highlighting modern day faith heroes who will come and share with us their faith journeys and their ministries as well as looking at biblical characters who exhibited great faith. Our goal is that this series will ignite children’s hearts with a passion for lost people, and encourages them to live out their lives with meaning and purpose and deep faith.
