Our Children’s Ministry exists to know Christ, teach His Word, partner with families, and prepare the next generation to faithfully follow Jesus for a lifetime.

  • Biblical Truth - Every lesson is firmly grounded in Scripture.

  • Spiritual Growth - We aim for transformed hearts, not just increased knowledge.

  • Safety & Love - Every child should feel welcomed, valued, and cared for.

  • Prayer - Driven Ministry - We depend on God in everything we do.

  • Family Partnership - We equip parents to continue spiritual growth at home.

  • Faithful Teachers - We seek servants who love children and teach God’s Word accurately.

  • Discipleship - We prepare children not only to know the Bible but to live it and share it with others.

  • Excellence for God’s Glory - We strive to give our best because every child is precious to God.
