Children's Church
Children ages 4 to 8, are encouraged to hear their own age appropriate message during the sermon portion of our 8:30 am and 10:30 am Sunday worship services. The children's church leader will greet the children in the lobby when they are dismissed to leave, and will bring them back to their parents at the appropriate time. We hope that your children can attend.
Children's church is offered in the summer only during the 10:30 am worship service, in the months of June and August.
Kid's Night Out
Kid's Night Out is a program designed to create opportnities for fellowship and fun among our children and youth while their parents enjoy a night out. High School Youth (9th grade and older) and middle school youth (6th to 8th grade) help run games, crafts, and other activities that have been coordinated by Amy Cichon. We ask for 4 - 8 youth volunteers at each of our events. The youth volunteers earn money as a fund raiser for their youth programs during the year. We also ask that two adults (parents or other adults) volunteer to help Amy supervise each event. Volunteer sign-up sheets are posted on the Children's Ministry Kiosk located near the Sunday School classrooms.
Kid's Night Out events run from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. There will be a charge of $5.00 per child to help cover the cost of craft supplies and snacks. Extra proceeds will go toward the youth group fund raising efforts.
