It takes a village to raise a family.
Our Kids Ministry is grounded in the idea that nurturing a child's journey with Jesus involves hands-on experiences and intergenerational partnership within the church-community. No matter where you're at or where you come from, we’re in it together with you to foster healthy connection and support for your child's journey, from birth through 5th Grade and beyond.
Disclaimer: Throughout the year, we may film or photograph students participating in church events, which may appear without identifying information on our media platforms. If for any reason you don’t want your child’s photo displayed online or onsite, email George Dornbach and we will make sure it doesn’t happen.
