Children’s Ministry
Children are a gift from God. He gives children to parents to reveal the kind of love He has for us; and He gives us the responsibility to train our children to appreciate Him and love and serve Him.
Our Children’s Ministries is about developing faith in our children from birth through the teen years. We seek to provide multiple ministries that will lead children to Jesus and disciple them in their daily walk with Him. Even very small children can learn that Jesus is their friend and that He loves them.
Sabbath School
Saturday morning Bible classes are available for all ages. Leaders use learning activities appropriate to their age level. We want our children to understand God’s grace and love to the extent they are able.
If you do not have the current study guide for your child, please check “SS Resources for All Ages” in the menu. Children, whose parents read the Bible lesson with them during the week, benefit more from the Saturday morning Bible learning activities.
Adventurers and Pathfinders
Pathfinders and Adventurerare Christian clubs for kids. Adventurers are in grades 1 to 4 and Pathfinders are for kids in the 5 through 10 grades. Children have a lot of fun in the varius activities and develop social skills and sportsmanship also. For more information check out our Pathfinder and Adventure Club pages.
Children’s Church
Kids enjoy Children's Church because the songs and activities are on their level. After joining their parents for the first part of the worship hour, they will transition to the Youth Chapel. Children's Church meets once a month or so, so check the calendar so you won't miss it.
Vacation Bible School
VBS is an intensive program during the summer. The children meet every day for a week often with a closing celebration on Saturday morning. Recent themes have included Creation, “With Jesus in the Kitchen” and “Galilee By the Sea.” Children love VBS!
