​Children's Ministry

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.'
  • Enduring Faith Bible Curriculum - Fifth - Eighth Grade Students (classrooms) Youth learn how to defend their faith and become prepared to state what they believe about the Bible and why. Thoughtful class discussions get students brainstorming about how to explain their faith to others, and bonus activities get students up and moving around, helping them practice teamwork skills as they work with other students.
