The Children's Ministry is sending home monthly emails with Sunday School resources for our preschoolers and elementary school children. Please contact Natalie Adkinson if you are not receiving these emails. You can also access each week's Sunday School video lesson at the top of this page.
We want the children to understand the Scriptures are alive and relevant to today. Therefore, our lessons are active, engaging, and hands-on. Please send elementary children with their Bible each Sunday and Wednesday.
Our one priority is to teach kids to LOVE GOD! "'...with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: "Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Matthew 22: 37-38
We believe there are four spiritual habits that help kids (and adults, too) grow closer to God. These four habits aren’t anything new. They’ve been talked about countless ways, by countless numbers of people. The words aren’t important, but here’s what is: if these four spiritual habits are the behaviors that help kids grow closer to God, we need a strategy to help kids engage in these four spiritual habits on a regular basis, year after year.
