MINISTRIES
Preschool Ministries
Preschool Ministries are designed to help lay a spiritual foundation for the life of each child. Our desire is to provide a safe and healthy environment, loving care, and an age appropriate program for each child.
In Sunday School our teachers seek to build a nurturing relationship with each child and provide Bible activities at the developmental level of the child.
Care for preschoolers is provided during all church-wide services. Other teaching programs include Missions Education (Mission Friends) on Wednesday evenings (6:30PM) and Vacation Bible School in the summer.
