Kids are naturally curious, and full of big wonders. That’s why we’re going to engage kids’ imaginations this year to help them grow closer to God! Kids will not only get curious about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — but also about the God who created it all! Together, we'll learn and wonder what makes their stories unique, what gifts God gave them (and how they could use those gifts to help others), what they can learn from others, and how they can spend time with God.
New this year is an adult and caregiver portion! Curious about what the littles in your life are learning about? Need some adult interaction or faith formation? The last 30 minutes of the program are just for you! Child care will be provided, and you can feel free to join us from 7-7:30PM for some Adult VBS.
VBS is free this year! Any and all donations are much appreciated.
in-person Children’s Worship, Sundays 10:30-11:30
Children PreK-5th grade are invited to join us to explore Scripture together through stories, crafts, and games. Children will follow leaders out of worship following the Time With the Children, and parents can pick them up in the Narthex following the service.
nURSERY CARE, SUNDAYS 10:30-11:30
Infants-suggested age 4 are invited to our nursery during worship. Caregivers are also welcome. Nursery is staffed by clearanced volunteers, and follows Safe Church guidelines.

Children’s Ministry FAQs
Who is Children’s Ministry for?
We have opportunities for PreK-5th graders! For some of our kids’ gatherings, we split up age groups, while for others we keep kids all together.
What do you do?
Time With the Children: We include a special time each week during worship to help form children in faith. Sometimes a story from Scripture, sometimes a teaching, sometimes a song or activity, the Time with the Children is one way we connect with our youngest members to worship.
Children’s Worship: Following the Time With the Children, children PreK-5th grade are invited to come for age-specific Scripture lessons, games, crafts, and worship.
Community Kids’ Events: Our Community Kids’ Events are geared toward a suggested age range of K-5th graders, but anyone can join! We host seasonal events like pumpkin painting and Mardi Gras mask-making, which include crafts, games, and music. Everyone in the community is invited!
Family Events: Like our Community Kids’ Events, we open Family Events to the whole community. These are intergenerational events like movie nights and Advent wreath-making. All ages and types of families are welcome, and all activities are accessible for children to participate.
Vacation Bible School: Every summer we host VBS for the children of our church and surrounding community. We sing songs, play games, do activities and crafts, learn from Scripture, and GET OUTSIDE together! It’s the best week of the year, and this year will be no exception! We can’t wait for July 15-19!
Who leads the children’s ministry?
Our Director of Faith Formation, Cassie Semler, and a team of dedicated volunteers lead our children’s ministry. We follow strict Safe Church guidelines to ensure a safe environment for our youth.
How are parents involved?
We love to have parents involved in our Children’s Ministry. Parents are always welcome to participate in activities like Kids’ Jam. Parents can also volunteer as Sunday School teachers, nursery room volunteers or for special events (clearances are required).
And please share your input and ideas!
