We provide a safe, secure, and loving environment for babies and toddlers during each of our worship services and Sunday School hour. This allows moms and dads the opportunity to worship and grow without worries or distractions.

Children’s Church is offered during our worship services at both of our campus locations. We teach Biblical truth at an age-appropriate level to help children learn the gospel story and live accordingly. Children are dismissed after the praise and singing part of our morning service.
Sunday School
All Ages
9:45 – 10:30 – Eldridge

Our desire is for children to understand their need for God’s grace through Jesus Christ and experience true conversion so they will know, honor, and treasure God above all. We instruct Biblical truths through the teaching of the Bible, engage the heart by guiding children to a personal response to God’s truth, and encourage children to walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.
