Early Childhood Ministry

Our ministry works actively and creatively to provide an engaging, strong church life for young children and their families. We strive to surround families with young children in a community of caring through events, outreach, and education for parents. We also provide childcare for families during worship.

Early Childhood Ministries

Loving care is offered for babies through pre-kindergarten during the North and South Worship Services, in classrooms designed just for children.

Each room has a consistent teacher who will welcome your child and call them by name. Children will learn church is a safe and inviting place that values even its youngest members. Children can be dropped off before worship and picked up immediately after worship.
