Children's & Family Ministry
This Ministry serves children 4 years of age thru the 6th grade with activities and educational programs on Sundays, Vacation Bible School in early summer, Children’s Christmas worship/program and Family Servant projects. We schedule monthly Family Events open to our church, school, and community families of all ages. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of being a part of the faith development of your children as they learn about Jesus.
Scripture Study
One of the primary ways of getting into the Word is through the Sunday-morning teaching taking place during worship. Pastor Dave's weekly messages are, first and foremost Biblical and balanced. They are practical and relevant to the lives of those who worship with us in person as well as those who listen through the Youtube link on this website. You can also sign up to receive the recording file through your email.
Pastor continually teaches and applies the Word on a daily basis as people contact him with specific questions relating to their life.
This one-to-one format has proved to be very effective and popular with members and guests in our busy society.
Other short-term learning opportunities are provided throughout the year as scheduled.
