I'm so excited that you've decided to come and check us out! I want you to know that this church values your children. I recognize that in today's society, children just exist until they get older and can give something to the community. In schools, homes, and other activities, kids are constantly faced with the questions of, "What do you want to be when you get older?" and "When you grow up can...". Questions and comments like this lead children to believe that they have nothing to offer until they get older and can do something productive with their lives. Well, I am here to tell you that our children are not just our future, but they are our present! Recent studies show that at the age of six, a child has already decided their personality, dreams, and goals for their life, and have adopted a set of morals and values.

This proves to me that children understand a lot more than what we give them credit for. I believe in equipping each child with the knowledge and skills to go out into the world and claim what is rightfully God's! When you tell a child they can't, they won't, but if you tell a child they can, they will!

Children's Ministry is no longer a babysitting service, but a place where kids are pumped with the Word of God. They are encouraged to reach God inspired goals as we point them toward the author and finisher of their faith, Jesus Christ! They will leave with enough hope, faith and love to make a positive change and influence the world! I encourage that not only you, but also your children take the challenge and discover a life worth living! Come and join us this weekend!
