Children's MINISTRIES
Developing a Relationship with Jesus
The goal of our Children's Ministry is to bring our youngest members from the community into a relationship with Jesus. We believe children have the capacity to walk intimately with God and we help guide them through practical skills learning, Bible stories, songs and crafts.

Kids' Cooking Classes (Boys & Girls Grades 3-6)
