During the 8:30 and the 11:00 worship services we offer Children’s Church for children ages 4 through 3rd grade. The children leave the worship service just before the message and are picked up by the parents following the worship service. One of the pastors will help with Children’s Church. During the 9:45 service, children and youth of all ages can attend an age-level Sunday School class.

Our youth ministry is one of our strongest ministries. The youth have an opportunity to fellowship with other youth, grow in their faith, and learn to serve others through a variety of mission projects. Because of the variety of activities, please check the church calendar for a listing of youth events.

Our Sunday School for children and youth is grouped by age/grade levels. There are five adult classes that use a variety of curriculum materials from Bible studies to contemporary issues.
