Our Early Childhood Ministry focuses on loving children to a relationship with Jesus Christ. Our programs and events are designed to teach Bible stories and concepts, share learning activities and provide a safe, loving environment. We strive to make Early Childhood ministry one of the first important steps in a child's spiritual journey.
