Early Childhood
It’s never too early to introduce your child to the love of Jesus. Long before they can write their names or recite the alphabet, these little ones can take their first steps in a lifelong journey of faith. The preschool ministry is reflective of our desire to join with you, their parents and church family, to ignite their desire for the Lord.
Catechism
One of the ways we teach our preschool children about the love of Jesus is by learning the catechism together. You can join us in this endeavor by encouraging your children to practice them at home!

Children's Choirs
On Wednesday evenings, we have a wide range of choir offerings for children of all ages to broaden their knowledge of Christ's love for them through music. The choirs lead worship in several Sunday services throughout the year and perform a musical in the spring.

Elementary
Through Bible teaching and nurturing relationships, we seek to help children in elementary school develop a solid Christian worldview to guide them through the coming years.
Connect:
On Wednesday evenings, 2nd-5th graders gather for games in the gym, singing, and a Bible lesson. This is a great way for them to get connected to the church, to awesome leaders, to other kids their age, and to God’s Word. Drop-off is at 6:15pm in the Recreation Gym Lobby, and pick-up is at 7:30pm in the PDS lobby.
