Weekend children's programs are offered during the 5:00 pm Saturday service and the 9:15 & 11:00 am Sunday services.

Age 3 - Kindergarten: This age group learns best through having fun, so this is what we do! We worship with action-packed songs just right for preschoolers, followed by a Bible lesson with a concise message kids can take with them. We finish the hour with a hands-on craft or activity that reinforces the lesson.

Grades 1-4: The program is filled with spirited songs, a large-group drama that teaches the lesson, and Bible-based small groups led by adult shepherds with activities or crafts that reinforce the lesson.

Grades 5-6: Kids for Christ (KFC)

KFC seeks to draw 5th and 6th graders into a strong, ongoing relationship with Jesus and to maintain that relationship with Jesus through drama, music, large group teachings and small group time. The students are encouraged to bring friends and to be themselves as they experience God's love.

Currently this program is done for the season but will start up again in the fall. Kids in grades 5 & 6 are invited to either attend service with their family or if needed, volunteer with the little ones during Summer KQ.

   Summer KQ: The regular KQ/KFC program ends May 17/18 for the season but will be replaced by our Summer KQ program. This program is offered for kids who are 3 by September 15th through grade 4.  Kids in grades 5 & 6 are invited to attend service with their family or if needed to assist with the little ones.  Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the service at the Youth Booth, located in the lower level for instructions.  Summer KQ does not require pre-registration.
