Preschool & Children

During our 9:30 AM small group hour on Sunday mornings, all children receive a Bible lesson taught by loving teachers! Through age-appropriate lessons and activities, we prioritize the value and importance of foundational Bible principles. Our three-year scope and sequence begins with creation and works all the way through Revelation because we know it is important for children to understand the full story of Scripture and how it all fits together.
