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.

We are a part of the Southwest Indiana District (SWID) and in the Terre Haute Missional Zone. These Zone gatherings are a chance to have food, fellowship, and fun with Nazarenes from other churches in our area This begins at 5 p.m. The meal includes burgers, fried chicken, pork, hot dogs, and all the fixings. There will also be desserts and drinks available. In addition to the food, you can fish in their pond and participate in outdoor games. There will be a worship service at 6 p.m. Childcare for infants, toddlers, and children up to 12 years old is available during the service.
Sermon Notes
"What Is Your Life"
Scripture: James 4:13-17
13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; 14 whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. 15 Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that." 16 But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
17 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
