Family Ministries
Family Life Commission
It is our mission to support families in making Christ real both at church activities and in the home, so that all families may grow in a lifelong relationship with God in Christ. We do this by offering resources and activities during the worship hour, Christian Education hour and more. Sunday Morning 10:30 a.m. Worship We invite families to begin worship with their children in the sanctuary. Following the children's moment (Kids' time) children four years old through 6th grade may attend Children Worship & Wonder. For children three and under our nursery is always available during worship as well. |
9:00 a.m. Christian Education
10:30 am Children Worship & Wonder
Following the children's moment in worship, all children from 4 years of age through 6th grade are invited to worship in their own space. In Children Worship & Wonder children encounter God through Biblical storytelling, prayer, and "work" time where they can reflect and wonder about God.
Jr Youth Group
Jr Youth Group is for children in grades 4th through 6th grade. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 6 to 7 pm in the Youth Room which is located int he basement. We tackle a variety of topics that are relevant to the children's lives and delve into the Bible to find how it continues to talk to us today. Children in this age group are no longer "young" children but aren't ready to tackle the same topics as teens. This group is a place where they can delve deeper into Biblical truths and begin to theorize how God is working in their own lives.
Special Events
We will plan periodic family events throughout the year. These may include swimming parties, lunch outings, ice skating, hayrides, and bowling. Watch our newsletter to learn about these opportunities.

Our Goals
- In all of our programs we strive to teach our children about the love of God, Christian Responsibility, basic Bible truths, and the worship of God, while developing in them a sense of comfort, security, and belonging to the family of Christ.
- It is our intent as a faith community that our children learn about the love of Jesus Christ by experiencing it for themselves.
- We believe that children should feel at home in our church. We will accomplish this through Bible Study, worship, music, drama, fun, and fellowship.
- We nurture and encourage families to be intentional in providing a warm, loving, Christian home for their children.
