We love children here!

We partner with parents to support  a child's whole family, so we really do "family ministries". Adult members and teens love the children and enjoy working with them as role models, blurring lines of ageism in God's family.

We aim to nurture the whole child: body (wellness), soul (literacy, life skills & talents) and spirit (salvation and maturity). Childrens' Ministry Leader, Sandy Karls
