Children's Church
During the school year, Children's Church is available during the the11:00 a.m. worship service and is for children 5 years through 2nd grade. We also have Children's Church during the 9:30 a.m. worship service in the summer. The children leave the regular worship service when it's time for the sermon and they return during the final hymn. Children's Church follows the format of the adult worship service, with age-appropriate prayers, songs, sermon and activities. Children's Church Coordinator: Radie Rapanut.Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School usually takes place in mid-summer, and the dates, theme and structure are announced in late April. VBS is a week long program for kindergarten through 5th grade children, with older youth participating as aides. When classes are divided by age/grade level, preschool classes are often available. If the children are taught in multi-aged groups preschoolers must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver. Class structure depends on the theme chosen for the program. Everyone in the community is welcome to participate in VBS.
All personnel who work with children have passed background checks and are trained in Safe Sanctuaries procedures.
