Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Shepherding the Next Generation

Our Heart for Your Children
We believe children are a precious gift from God and a vital part of His Church today. It is our joy and responsibility to help them know Jesus, grow in a personal relationship with Him, and be rooted deeply in faith, hope, and love. We desire to walk alongside families, encouraging and guiding young hearts toward Christ.

Walking Together in the Gospel
We warmly invite you and your family to join us as we prayerfully invest in the next generation. Together, may we nurture young lives to follow Jesus faithfully, trust Him fully, and reflect His love in their homes, schools, and community

Sunday Morning activities

Sunday Morning Kids Breakfast
Every Sunday from 8:00–9:00 a.m., we host a special Kids Breakfast. It’s a wonderful time for children and youth to gather, share a meal, and start their morning together before Sunday School begins.
Sunday School
Sunday School begins at 9:00 a.m., with classes thoughtfully designed to engage each age group at their level of understanding. Preteens and teens meet downstairs in the Fellowship Hall for their class. Some older teen boys also choose to attend the Men’s Bible Study upstairs, where they can grow in faith alongside the men of our church community
Children's Church
After our Children’s Sunday School ends at 9:45 a.m., we offer additional opportunities for growth and worship.
Children’s Church (Grades 1–4) meets downstairs in the Fellowship Hall every Sunday during the sermon.

Preteens meet downstairs every other Sunday morning. On the Sundays when they are not meeting downstairs, they will join the teens and the congregation for the remainder of the service.

Having preteens and teens participate in the main service with the congregation is vital for fostering an intergenerational community, encouraging spiritual maturity, and building a lasting faith. It allows them to experience full worship, learn from adult role models, and feel valued as active members of the body of Christ—rather than simply spectators in a children’s program

Weekday & Sunday Evening Ministries for Kids & Teens

The Gate Kids Ministry
The Gate Kids Ministry meets on Thursdays during the school year from 5:30–7:00 p.m. This dynamic midweek program is designed especially for children to grow in their faith in a fun, engaging, and Christ-centered environment.
