Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
Our Preschool ministry partners with parents in laying a spiritual foundation for preschoolers with the hope and prayer that they will accept Jesus into their hearts, and from that day continue to build a strong relationship with Him that will impact their life and the lives of others. With excitement and joy, we create a lasting impression of our heavenly Father on the hearts of children and their families.
We want every child, from newborn through kindergarten to…
- Feel God’s love in everything we say and do.
- Think of church as a special place with happy experiences.
- Know that Jesus is a special friend who loves them.
- Have good and positive feelings about themselves.
- Feel safe and secure each time they are at church.Feel unconditional love and acceptance.

Sunday Groups
On Sunday mornings our purpose is to teach preschoolers about Jesus and His love through the Bible, which is told in simple and creative ways according to the child’s maturity, interests and needs. We teach with our own curriculum that begins in Genesis and goes through the entire Bible, using the Beginner’s Bible as a resource. We offer preschool classes during both service hours, which are 9:00 am and 10:30 am, so parents can attend one of our services and a Sunday School class of their own.
Midweek
Join us Wednesday Nights for Midweek. Dinner is served in our area at 5:30 pm followed by our midweek activities beginning at 6:00 pm.
