CHILDRENS CHURCH
Purpose statement
To teach children God’s Word, to love Jesus Christ, and to become his hands and feet. Children are a vital and inquisitive part of our congregation with unique needs & opportunities. Children are boys and girls up to 13 years. We prepare and deliver a curriculum and experiences appropriate to their ages that help them to know, love, and present Jesus as Lord. We also train and equip parents to promote the personal and spiritual development of their children.
