While we’re still building out our full children’s ministry, we create space for kids to engage in worship, learn about God in fun and simple ways, and feel like they belong. We welcome families of all shapes and sizes, and we believe kids grow best when they’re included in the life of the church. Your little ones are always welcome here.
