CHILDREN'S MINISTRY (K-5TH GRADE)

We see children as seeds and saplings—each at a unique stage in their spiritual growth. Some are just beginning to hear about Jesus for the first time, while others are starting to grow in their understanding of God’s love. 

 

Our goal is to faithfully plant and water seeds of truth, trusting God for the growth in His perfect timing (1 Corinthians 3:6-7).

 

We aim to create a safe, nurturing environment, allowing these seeds to take root and grow at their own pace. We’re not here to push for quick decisions, but to faithfully walk alongside them, showing them who God is through His scripture, and our love, actions, and words.
