Children’s Ministry

There is a unique joy and wonder in the faith of a child. That is why Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to children. Our Children’s Ministry program is designed to maximize that joy and wonder by equipping students to minister vocationally to children. Through age specific programming and teaching, you, too, can be a part of leading children to be part of God’s family.
