About Us:
Our mission is to love God and to love others.
We believe children are fully capable of participating in the Gospel.
We believe the Kingdom of God is available to our children which includes salvation, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, water baptism, communion, and operating in the gifts of the Spirit.
We lead our children to Jesus. We teach the Bible. We train our children to be disciples of God.

Each Sunday age-appropriate classes are available for children ages six months through eleven years old.  

Check In/Out Procedure:

• Each Sunday, guardians may check in their children beginning at 9:30 am. As you check in, you will receive a unique barcode on your child’s name tag and your guardian sticker. Please bring that barcode with you when you pick up your children after service. 
• For the safety of our children, at 10:15 am registration is closed and the Children’s Ministry door is locked. If you arrive after 10:15 am, please have your children sit with you (the guardian) during service. 
• For the safety of our children, only authorized volunteers are allowed past the check-in tables. We have a security team monitoring our premises.

By a guardian signing their child into class, the guardian is agreeing their child meets the wellness policy.
