Across all 3 of our campuses, you will find that our Children's Ministry will engage your children with fun activities, skits, and most importantly the life-changing truth of God’s word.



We have our ministry broken up into two areas:

  • 1st & 2nd Graders go to Adventure Island.
  • 3rd- 5th Grades go to Loft 345.


We would love to help you and your family find your way around if you are a first time guest. At all 3 Campuses, you will see a Kids entrance; we will have a smiling face waiting there to help get you and your family on their way.

Also, on Wednesday nights we come together for Family Nights. It’s an evening packed with activities, classes, and services for the whole family. Our Awana program helps your children build a solid foundation of scripture while learning to know, love, and serve Jesus for the rest of their life. Family Nights run along with the school year with a summer break.

We are praying for you and your family and are excited to be a part of your journey. Know that it is our life's joy to serve your family. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at the church offices.

Your First Visit

Look for a welcome desk at each of the campuses and we will meet your family, check your child in, and one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.


We will ask for the following personal information: family members' names, children’s names and birthdates, address, phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your child.

How Check-In Works

When you visit again, you may check in your child at any available station. After finding your child’s name in the database, you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while the matching tag will be given to your child’s teacher. The final tag is your pick up receipt. After the service, you will return to your child’s room and show your pick up receipt in order for your child to be released back to you.

The Ride Home

On your way home, be sure to ask your child questions like, "Did you have fun?" and "What did you learn today?" It's our goal that every child has a positive answer to these two questions, every week!
