Infants – 3 years of age
Nursery care is provided for infants and young children, each Sunday 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. The nursery is located downstairs. Our nursery care staff are Safe Church Trained.
Pre-K – 4th grade
Each Sunday, at 10:00am, children go to their individual classrooms based on their grade.
During their Sunday School classes the children are introduced to Bible stories, through crafts and other activities designed to share our Prayers and Praises. We practice and learn new songs which we often share with the parish during worship services. Children join their parents in the sanctuary for the remainder of the service.
Youth Group – 5th - 8th grade
This class continues to explore God’s word through real-world examples, group discussion and activities, creating a strong foundation of faith and pursuit of spiritual growth. Youth meet during the 10:00 am service for fellowship and discussion. Additional activities, outreach and events are planned with the youth throughout the year. As students enter high school a confirmation program is offered including classes and special activities as part of a structured curriculum.
