We see children as a vital part of our church. Our desire is that children will grow in their knowledge of God through the Bible and demonstrate biblical principles in daily life. Our aim is to support parents in our mutual desire to have each child come to faith in Jesus Christ. Our church's goal is to provide a welcoming environment to all children through its various activities.

Wednesday Evening (6:45pm - 8:30pm, October-May)
All children come together for a time of singing and the telling of a Bible story using skits, puppets, or a DVD. Then they divide into two groups:

Kids' Club
This year the kids will be learning the names of God using a workshop rotation model. Through video, art, storytelling, cooking, games, Bible skills, music, or science, God's names will be thoroughly examined and applied to the children's lives. As well, they will be memorizing the alphabet in Scripture verses and competing for a pizza party at Chucky Cheese.

Kid Reach Tutoring
Volunteers tutor children from 3 local elementary schools in reading, writing, and math. Positive relationships are built with each student to create a comfortable learning environment, so each student is able to achieve greater academic success.

The evening concludes in the gymnasium with 20 minutes of high-energy group games for all the children.
