    As a congregation committed to uphold the promises made at baptism, we teach our children to live the love of Jesus Christ and to help them recognize the work of God in their lives and in the world. 

    Sunday Morning Programs

    Young Children and Worship 

    An exciting experience offered for all children age 3 through grade 2 during the 9:00am worship service. The children are excused after the children's sermon (approximately 20 minutes into the service) to their own Worship center to experience God's word through storytelling, prayer, art and music.

    Sunday School

    We have a wonderful team of dedicated, caring teachers committed to providing a strong church school program for the children, teaching them the fundamentals of Reformed faith and leading them on a life-long spirtual journey based on biblical literacy.  Sunday school is offered during the school year from 10:10 to 11:00 am on the 3rd floor.  Room assignments are listed by grade each Sunday in the bulletin and also on the bulletin boards located in the hallway on the 3rd floor.

    Growing with God

    This program is offered during the summer months at the 8:30 outdoor service.  Children 3 years of age thru 2nd grade are invited to come to the vegetable garden following the Children's sermon.  This is their time to worship together and also learn about gardening so that the produce which is harvest may help our neighbors who are in need. 

     LOGOS is  our midweek afterschool program for children and their families.  Every Tuesday during the school year from 4:30 until 7:00 pm the children are engaged in recreation, bible study, worship skills and dinner.  It is a time of fellowship and fun while nurturing a faith relationship with Jesus Christ.  Click here for more information.
