"Let the children come unto me"
We teach children Biblical lessons in a fun way.
We have our children remain in the sanctuary for the Sunday worship time, and then during the sermon, they have a special lesson geared to their age group in the Education Wing.
After the Sunday worship segment, our younger children (3rd grade and down) are invited to come to the front of the Worship Center for a special Children's Message. Biblical lessons are illustrated with an object lesson and "audience participation"
Following the Children's Message, children in preschool through 6th grade are invited to go to the Education Wing for a snack, Bible stories, crafts, discussions, games, object lessons and more.
The Nursery for ages 0 -3 is staffed by trained personnel during Sunday School and the service.
There is a cry room in the back of the sanctuary for your use, if desired.

Triumphant is for children 4th grade through 8th grade and is our beginner team. Children on this team are taught basic puppeteering skills and perform several times during the year for the church. Triumphant will begin rehearsals in September.
