Families, Children & Students

Children and students and their parents matter a lot to us. We are here to partner with parents to help kids - from infants to high school students - develop a growing relationship with Jesus. (Click the links at right under Families, Kids, and Students to read more about individual ministries.)

We want to create the best possible environment for children to learn so our staff and highly-trained volunteers team up to make sure kids experience lots of love and tons of fun.

We use both large group and small group settings to help kids and young adults discover God in ways that are appropriate, exciting, and relevant. In large-group worship we use energetic music and games along with engaging story-telling and serious teaching to communicate God’s Word. In small groups adults talk with children and teens to help them understand and live out what they’ve learned.

We believe part of living out God’s love is serving others. From elementary age on up, our young people are taught and encouraged to volunteer, serving in the church, across the community and even around the world with our global partners.
