Children's Church

We offer children's church during the worship service so that your children can learn a relevant Bible lesson appropriate for their age level. They begin in the service with their parents and then are released by our worship minister during the worship service. Children walk to the back of the Sanctuary where they are greeted by a children's church volunteer and they are escorted to our fellowship hall, where you can pick them up after the service.


Note: The third Sunday of each month, we do not have children's church. This gives your children a chance each month to learn how to participate in the "big church" setting, because one day they will be in there every week.


We also do not require that your children attend children's church. They are more than welcome to stay with you in the service every week.


K.P.O.W. | Kids Praising on Wednesdays

K.P.O.W. is what we call our Wednesday night children's choir!


Your children, 4 years -5th grade are invited to join us every Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. We begin in the sanctuary then split into smaller groups for both singing and a Bible lesson.


Your children will have an opportunity to perform the songs that they learn in children's choir before the church on a Sunday morning.


K.P.O.W. meets during the school year and takes a break each summer.
