Birth to PreK-3

We want to help you provide your children with their first impression of their loving heavenly Father. Our nurturing caregivers blend bible stories, activities, games and music to show kids that learning about God’s love can be fun and exciting! We want your children to know: 

  1. God made Me!
  2. God loves Me!
  3. Jesus wants to be my friend forever!

PreK-4 to 4th Grade

Our Sunday morning  program is designed to inspire discovery and instill three basic truths into the hearts of children, as modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52 (Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man):

  1. I can trust God no matter what.
  2. I need to make the wise choice. How does God’s Word fit into my life?
  3. I should treat others the way I want to be treated. 
  4. I can build friendships that will last.
