Children Ministry
God chose you to be a parent!
Children’s Classes
God chose you to be a parent! Whew! That’s the best job in the world, but it can also be the most challenging job! Yet, through it all, God has promised to equip you and support you in that journey. First, he left his Word to encourage and teach us. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 says, “These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
Clearly, God puts much importance on the role of a parent. He also created the church to partner with you on this journey and we are here to do just that. Every class and program offered through the Children’s Ministry was created to partner with you as you continue to disciple your children. Each awesome, dedicated volunteer is looking forward to teaching your child!!
The Children’s Ministry seeks to partner with parents in leading their children to a personal relationship with Christ and assist them in their Christian growth experience.

ROYAL AMBASSADORS (RAs)
The purpose of Royal Ambassadors is to involve boys in 1st-6th grade in missions. Involvement in missions is living one’s faith daily: personal experience in witness and ministry and giving and praying to support persons involved in missions. The Royal Ambassador program helps boys to become aware of the needs of people around the world and to respond to those needs.
