The Youth & Children’s Ministry Team provides children with a loving, safe & FUN environment to grow on their spiritual journey. The guiding philosophy of our program comes from the Bible verse John 14:34:
Jesus said, I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
Our Children’s Ministry Programs intentionally strives to create a community of faith, bound together by the knowledge that we are all children of God. The Christian Ed Team works hard to provide many hands-on mission opportunities for children, where they can experience the joy of service. This includes activities during Sunday School, as well as, the JOY Team ministry. Please contact Monica Barner for more information about Sunday School and other CE Programs.
Various activities are scheduled throughout the year for fellowship. These are open to all members and friends of the church. Numerous support groups meet regularly to discuss and dialog about circumstances within their daily lives and to share God’s love for one another.
