Children’s Ministries

The Children’s Ministry committee coordinates Christian education and faith formation for birth through 5th grade. This includes SEEDS during the worship hour, SPROUT offered at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays,  ROOTED which is the Wednesday night program, BLOOM for 3rd – 5th graders which meets once a month and Vacation Bible School. 

With God’s help, we work to:

• Create a welcoming environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
• Open the pages of scripture with the children so they can meet God there, learn who they are as children of God and disciples of Jesus Christ, and find their place in God’s ongoing story of grace. 
• Engage children in a variety of ways, mindful of different learning styles and behavioral challenges.
• Teach children that laughter and joy are part of the Christian faith by ensuring that classes and activities, Bible studies and service projects are also opportunities for fellowship and fun.  
• Teach children the importance of being part of a faith community as they mature in their understanding of their relationship with God and find new ways to express what they believe and why.
