Our Mission...
in Children’s Ministry is to empower parents and Children’s Ministry leaders to build God’s Kingdom by inviting the youngest among us to know and follow Jesus.
Sunday Kids Connection Time
Our children are the next generation of the church. We believe that it’s so important that they not only have fun at church, but that they also get to learn in a creative and relevant way. Our passion is to see these precious little ones raised up to love and serve Jesus, but we can’t do that with games and coloring books alone!
Any time you check your child into Kids Connection Time, you can expect that they’ll learn an age-appropriate lesson from God’s Word - and have a blast doing it.

Our Vision - Know, Grow, & Go
Kids Connections exists so that children may...
KNOW Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior! (Romans 10:4-10)
That they may GROW in their relationship with Him! (2 Peter 3:18)
And that they may be equipped to GO and tell others about Him! (Matthew 28:16-20)

Waiting for Jesus
Our kids will have many opportunities throughout their faith journeys to explore the nativity story and celebrate the birth of our baby King. But perhaps just as compelling as the day itself is the long-expected nature of Messiah’s birth. God had promised a King. The prophets foretold His story.
The weeks leading up to Christmas Day can be a time of vibrant anticipation, of knowing that something worth waiting for is coming, and yet having to wait it out. In this series, kids will celebrate Advent in a new way as they discover the prophecies about the coming Savior from Isaiah in the Old Testament and the fulfillment of those prophecies in the birth of Jesus and the promise of His return.
November 16 - Jesus is Our Hope
Hope (Isaiah 7; Matthew 1)
November 23 - Jesus is Our Peace
Peace (Isaiah 9; John 14)
November 30 - Jesus is Our Joy
Joy (Isaiah 35; Luke 2)
December 7 - God Loved Us by Sending Jesus
Love (Isaiah 11; John 1)
December 14 - Jesus will Return
