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.

Focus on Missions

The country of modern-day Pakistan exists in an area that dates back to one of the oldest civilizations in the world and has cultural influences from Persians, Greeks, Scythians, Arabs, Afghans, and Turks. The Church of the Nazarene registered and established work in Pakistan in 1996. From 4 learning centers across the country, approximately 60 are studying for the ministry; and as a result, 29 (two of whom were women) were ordained in the January district assembly. There are 284 fully organized churches with 24,563 members. PRAY for the safety of Christians, for Pakistan is struggling with economic and political crises. PRAY for the Church of the Nazarene as it seeks to bring the love of Jesus to new areas in Pakistan. There is growth in every area of our Church in that country, and the future is bright. Thank you for praying for Nazarene missions in Pakistan!

Sermon Notes

"God’s Fight School"

Scripture: Deuteronomy 32:9-12

For the Lord''s portion is His people;

Jacob is the place of His inheritance.

10 "He found him in a desert land

And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;

He encircled him, He instructed him,

He kept him as the apple of His eye.

11 As an eagle stirs up its nest,

Hovers over its young,

Spreading out its wings, taking them up,

Carrying them on its wings,

12 So the Lord alone led him,

And there was no foreign god with him.
