We seek to provide a foundation for spiritual formation for children and their families. We believe in creating opportunities for worship, experience serving others, and resources to continue faith-filled conversations at home.

MILESTONE MINISTRIES AND MORE
NURSERY MINISTRY
Our nursery is staffed by childcare professionals and volunteers in a safe and loving environment. Infants, toddlers, and Pre-K children enjoy a warm, welcoming space fully equipped with books, toys, music, and care essentials. Using the Growing in Grace and Gratitude curriculum, children hear Bible stories and participate in activities in a space designed for their curiosity and learning through play.
CHILDREN WORSHIP, TOO!
This milestone ministry is available for Kindergarten and 1st Grade children and their parents/guardians each year as children learn more about where, why, and how we worship. Children and their families explore age-appropriate, hands-on ways that encourage children to become more engaged in worship.
BIRTH TO THREE FAITH FORMATION
(September-May)
In our commitment to support and partner with families, we offer a special ministry to young families and their infant through 3 year old children: Splash!, by Augsburg-Fortress Publishing. At birth and one year, families receive a CD full of terrific music. Monthly parent pages provide information and support to parents as they minister to their child’s physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development.
LEARNING TO USE MY BIBLE
An opportunity for for our 3rd grade children to introduce them to basics of using their Bibles. This engaging, age-appropriate class is an exciting experience full of games and activities that equip our children to confidently use their Bibles for a lifetime of study and worship. Personalized Bibles are presented to our 3rd graders during worship at the beginning of the program.
