Children’s Ministry (Elementary Age) Now What?
Beginning this weekend, our Sunday school lessons will lead kids in walking in Jesus’ footsteps from his birth to his
resurrection and ascension. The kids won’t just be learning about the historical Jesus; they’ll get to know him personally. They’ll discover that Jesus is a real person—a real friend—
who makes a difference in their lives today. Planting Faith in Children
Are you looking for a fun and rewarding way to serve? How about teaching kids about Jesus once a month? All lessons and materials will be provided for you, you’ll just need to plan for a morning of
