SUNDAY SCHOOL
We have many talented, caring, dedicated, servants of God implementing the many aspects of our Children’s Sunday morning program. This ministry serves infants through adolescents and offers a complete program at both Sunday services. Children’s Church begins in the classroom portable with thirty minutes of music, prayer, games, puppetry, and skits. Following this worship time children break up into small grade level groups and enjoy exciting biblical lessons and life application activities from our Gospel Light Curriculum. On the first Sunday of each month the children sing for the congregation and participate in communion with their families.
