Children's Ministries

Our children have several events throughout the week in which they can be involved:

Sunday School

Children's Choir

AWANA's

Nursery

Sunday school for children ranges from 1 year old through 6th grade.  We have a class that will fit your child's need.  During Sunday School your child will play games, sing songs and learn God's word in a variety of ways.

Children's choir is for children in 1st through 6th grade.  We meet Sunday evenings from 6:00pm until 7:30pm, while the adults are having Discipleship classes.  We learn how to praise God through songs, play games and prepare special music for Sunday worship services.

AWANA's is a terrific program for your child to be involved in discipleship.  We have a heavy emphasis on scripture memorization.   Our children play games and have a Bible study.  Once in a while we have a special guest or a special event that is really fun for parents as well as children.  AWANA's is a great place for your child to come and meet friends and get excited about God.

We also provide a nursery for the little guys during all church events.  Our nursery is divided into 3 sections:

Birth - 12 months

1-2 year olds

3-5 year olds


Youth Ministries

Our youth are very important to us and we have activities weekly in which they can get involved:

Sunday School

Discipleship

Youth Teams

AWANA's

Monthly Service Project

Sunday School is a time when youth come together and learn about God and apply His truth to life.  Youth play games and do group work to help them understand the scriptures better.  Sunday School is a great time for your youth to meet people who will care for them and be involved in meaningful Bible study.

Sunday evening is when discipleship occurs.  We pick a subject and have a class on it over however many weeks it takes.  This is a great time for your youth to grow in faith and knowledge of Christ and find His place in their lives.

Sunday evening is when Youth Teams occur.  We have a one hour Bible discipleship study then we break into 2 teams.  These teams are the Video team and the Drama team.  These teams are ministries in which the youth use their talents to encourage the rest of the youth ministry as well as the church.  We meet from 7:30 until 8:30pm, after the adults are finished with discipleship.  We even provide your youth a ride home after the Teams are finished.

AWANA's happens on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 - 7:45 pm.  During this time we disciple the youth in faith issues.  We do in-depth Bible study and learn to apply the Truth of God to our lives.  AWANA's is a great time of discipleship.

We have a monthly service project in which the youth are involved.  It can be anything from going to a nursing home, sharing our faith with people, or participating in our church workday.  This is a great chance for your youth to put their faith into practice.

All youth activities are purpose driven to help your youth become a well-rounded Christian who will make a difference in the society in which they live.

Discipleship happens on Sunday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30pm.  We meet for a time of praise and worship, share our concerns, pray, and dismiss to classes that meet for approximately an hour and fifteen minutes.

Wednesday evening we have a short Bible study and prayer service.  We put all the needs of the congregation on a list and break into several groups and pray over those needs.

Choir is open to all those from Youth through Adults.  We meet on Sunday afternoons to pracitce at 5:00pm.  We sing cantatas, special music and introduce the congregation to new praise hymns.

All these activities are ministries in which you can be involved.  We welcome you and want you to be a part of all that God is doing here.
