Children’s Worship

During 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. services, children are invited to the front of the church for their own Children's Sermon. They are then invited to go to their own worship experience, while the adults remain in the sanctuary for the sermon. The exception is on Communion Sundays, where we all remain together.

Age-appropriate worship for children, to prepare them for participation in “Big Church.” Lessons, activities, crafts, movies, and music are used to teach scriptural principles.

Children ages 4-9 (or pre-K through 3rd).

Following worship, parents should pick their children up in the Fellowship Hall.

If new to the program, please be sure to fill out a registration card!
