Our children's ministry classes are taught in a safe and secure environment by teachers who love both God's Word and children. Children's classes are available for children from preschool though 5th grade. We are delighted to be one of the few churches ministering to children with special needs and their families through our Wonderfully Made class, from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm.The nursery is available from 8:30 to 12:30 for infants and toddlers.
