Children's Ministries

Train up a child.

Our children have their own place in worship through Children's Church, begun under Pastor Williams, and a full week of Vacation Bible School in the summer. This year it ran June 8–12.

VBS brings together great teachers who love God and love to challenge young minds. Among Americans who have a child who attended VBS, 95 percent agree it positively influenced their child's spiritual growth.
