Children's Church
Sundays during worship
Ages 4 through 2nd grade
Children between ages four through second grade are invited to a children's worship time. This is designed to mirror our time in worship with prayer, a bible story, and an activity to help them with the theme of that story. Kids will start in worship with their families, will be dismissed to go to children's church before the message, and then return during the final hymn (or for communion on 1st Sundays).
