Children’s Ministries

Sunday School is the primary contact that most children have with the church and one of the most important hours a child spends each week. Our teachers are committed to your children; they know their job is important and they seek to effectively relate Scripture to each child’s life through carefully planned lessons that are relevant and true to God’s word.
