SHARING THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH OUR CHILDREN
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Visiting us for the first time? No fear! Our greeters will show you where our Kids Check-In is when you arrive. We will meet your family, check your child into the nursery or class, and answer any questions you may have. We can't wait to meet you!
WHAT WE TEACH
We work with parents to provide the core structures of gospel awareness in the lives of their children. We cannot do all the work of training up children in the way they should go, but we partner with parents to provide the roadmap, the habits, and the deep theological commitments which will lead a child toward God throughout all of life.
SAFETY
We are committed to providing the safest possible environment for children to learn about God and grow in the faith. To that end, all volunteers and staff will be screened, trained, and background checked through MinistrySafe. Our goal is to create an environment with as many protections against abuse as is possible. Central to this task are commitments to transparency, training, and multi-layered structures of accountability.
