Sunday School

10:30 AM KidsChurch

The children begin in the sanctuary with their families for the opening worship time.  Following a children’s message, they are dismissed to their classrooms for age-appropriate teaching.  We offer 7 classes: Nursery – 2yrs.  Toddlers (2-3 yr olds), Preschool (4-5 yr olds), Kindergarten & First, 2nd Grade, 3rd & 4th Grade, and Link 56 (5th & 6th Grade). Please sign your children in and print their name tag out prior to the worship service beginning.

If you are visiting, please come to the children’s desk and we’ll help you sign your children in and show you where the classrooms are.  We’re very excited to meet you and your children!

Trunk R Treat - October

Held the Wednesday night prior to Halloween each year, families at the church and within the community decorate their cars/trunks with many different themes.  Families then trick or treat among the trunks.  It is a fun, safe opportunity for families to enjoy.  Crafts are available inside the church building.

Family Christmas Party - December

Held the Wednesday before Christmas week, this is a family event where we celebrate Christ’s birthday.  Each year the theme and/or activities are different.
