Opportunities for Children and youth during Worship on Sunday
Children’s Ministry: Learning and Service
We offer a variety of learning and hands-on service programs for children during the Contemporary Service on Sunday mornings. On the 1st Sundays of the month, children may either attend Children’s Chapel after the Children’s Moment or remain in worship with their parents, with children returning to worship for communion. On the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Sundays of the month, children may either attend Sunday School after the Children’s Moment or remain with their parents. On 3rd Sundays children participate in our monthly service program so they may serve God by serving people.
