For our families with children

If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.

On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.

Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.

Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.

Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

July 7: Faith Promise Sunday

Faith Promise Sunday with missionary Mark Eugenio will take place on July 7. It is a privilege to have Mark speaking for us in our morning worship service! We will be gathering in our Faith Promise pledges for Nazarene World Missions at the close of the service. This giving is a vital part of the mission’s focus of our church. Pledges are made for the duration of one year and are given above our tithe. Please be prayerful about your part. Nazarene missionaries around the word are supported by what we give. Children, teens, and adults of all ages are encouraged to participate. You do not have to be a member of the church to share in Faith Promise, and our pledges are strictly between the individual and the Lord. Thank you for making this a priority in prayer between now and July 6.
