For Children
KIDS' CLUB: Children K-5th are invited to Kids' Club during the 10:30 service for Bible stories, music, songs, crafts, games, and more! Volunteers will lead the children to Kids' Club immediately following the Children's Moment in worship.

Children's Bulletins for ages 3-6 and 7-12 are offered to all children at the beginning of the 10:30 service.

During the 10:30 Sunday service, children and youth of all ages are invited to come forward for Children's Time, a faith-learning moment led by a trained volunteer.

Children 6th grade and older are invited to participate in the life of the church as a Junior Deacon. Adult mentor deacons are matched to each Junior Deacon to help them serve.
Future Junior Deacon Training dates will be announced.

Children kindergarten age and younger are welcome to be in the worship service with their families. A Cry Room is available at the back of the sanctuary if your children become restless or fussy.

Newcomers are warmly welcome and invited to participate!
