Children's Ministry
The Christian Education Commission, through the Children's Council, welcomes
you to the ministry for children and their families. Understanding
the importance of the faith development of children, our Church provides
a variety of opportunities for them. We encourage you to read through this
information, so as to become acquainted with the ways the Church, in partnership
with you, nurtures your child in the Christian faith.
The Manger
The Manger is the nursery of the Church. Children age birth through 2 years
old are greeted each Sunday morning by our Child Care Attendant and her
assistants. The attendant oversees the Manger during all worship services.
In this way, she gets to know the babies and their parents, thereby creating
a comfortable and safe environment for each baby and toddler.
The Church School
This program offers Christian educational opportunities for children from 2 years of age through 5th grade under the supervision of Reverend Pruner. Dedicated teachers who are committed to providing a nurturing environment for our children staff the Church School. Our Bible-based curriculum not only enables the children to grow in their faith, but also encourages them to share their faith with others. As a part of our program, the school aged children experience worship as a Church family.
Mustard Seeds

ages 1 - 5 and their mom/dad or grandma/grandpa meet for a fun morning
of Bible story time, music, crafts and free play time in the gym. The
Mustard Seeds meet from 9:30 - 11:00 AM.
