​Children's Ministry Events

Children's Sunday School 
  • Simply Loved, Nursery - Fourth Grade Students (classrooms) Let's get back to the heart of what matters most! Simply help your kids love Jesus and each other. Every activity, song, and visual in Simply Loved is designed to help kids remember each lesson long after their children’s ministry years. Simply Loved curriculum was created with the truth found in 1 John 4:7 in mind which says, 'Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.'
  • XP3, Fifth - Eighth Grade Students (classrooms)
    One Priority... “Love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-38 This curriculum has three relational motives: Move kids to LOVE GOD by inciting Wonder; Move kids to LOVE LIFE by provoking discovery; and Move kids to LOVE OTHERS by fueling passion.
