During the school year, we meet on Wednesdays at 6PM for our midweek program for elementary-aged kids in kindergarten – 5th grade.

Snack supper is served each week. Cost of the meal is $5 per person. Cash and checks are received each Wednesday night. If you would like to pay for the semester, please click here. The total cost is $75 (which is 15 weeks multiplied by $5 per meal.) If you need to speak with us about the cost of the program, feel free to email us.

Safety and Security:
The safety of your children is our top priority. We have implemented strict safety protocols, including background checks for all our volunteers and a secure check-in/check-out process.

Kinder – 5th Grade

Children kinder through 5th grade will sit with their families during Sunday worship.

•  9AM Traditional worship – there is a children’s moment during the service.
• 11AM Contemporary worship – your child will sit with you during worship and will then be invited to join Kid’s Church for biblical teaching and age-appropriate discussion. They will rejoin you following the sermon to participate in the Lord’s Supper.

Each September, third graders are presented with a personalized Bible just for them during our worship service. There is a special wrapping ceremony for parents prior to the Sunday presentation.

During the school year, our third graders will have a special Bible class just for them as part of the midweek curriculum. This will be an opportunity for the kids to get to know their Bibles and learn how to use them.

A WEEK OF BLESSINGS!

We had an incredible week of Vacation Bible School in July 2024.

Throughout the week we were blessed with more than 300 students and over 100 adults and 70 youth volunteers learning about the love of Jesus. In addition to learning about Jesus, our kiddos have been serving through daily mission and craft projects. They made balloon bracelets to share with friends and placemats for upcoming Kairos walks. They also stuffed and sewed over 400 heart pillows to share with our community. Our 5th grade group did an amazing job packing nearly 1,000 lunches for those in need through Lunches of Love—what an incredible achievement!
