We recognize that the preschool years are
filled with astounding growth and rapid development. We also recognize
that this development was created by God. We know that children between
birth and six years learn over half of all they will learn in life
during these formative years. This is a critical time of foundation
building for all that will follow.
Learning from the Bible
Every time young children come to our church, they are taught from the Bible.
The smallest babies hear the comforting words, “Jesus loves you.” Older
twos begin to hear simplified Bible stories as they eat a snack. Older
Pre-Ks and Kindergartners hear complete Bible stories and related
verses in group time. We believe that we have great opportunities to
use Bible songs, verses, stories, pictures and related activities with
young children to make Bible learning fun and exciting.
Sunday Bible Studies
Sunday provides one of the best times for preschoolers and
kindergartners to learn and interact with other children their same
age. Age-graded Sunday School is available at 8:20 am, 9:30 am, 10:45 am and
5:15 pm, for children birth through kindergarten. Learn more on the page.

Mission Friends

our own country. Prayer for missionaries is encouraged and a Bible
verse is taught each week.
