What We're About

We want to come alongside you to teach your children to know and love Jesus. Find out more about our Early Childhood, Elementary, and 5th and 6th Grade Ministries below. Tips and resources for your family are being shared on our Early Childhood, Elementary, and 5th & 6th Grade Ministry Instagram accounts.

We are excited to welcome your kids to Sunday classes! Pre-registration is required.

Early Childhood
Birth-K

The Early Childhood ministry will grow your child’s understanding of God’s love through their interactions with caregivers, Bible stories, songs, and age-appropriate activities.

Sunday Mornings 

Sunday Classes are available in limited capacity in person (beginning Nov. 1) as well as online through EC Live. Both formats include worship, Biblically-based teaching, and activities that help bring the Bible stories to life in a developmentally fun and appropriate way. Whether a child engages with our curriculum online or in person, they will learn, experience, and be able to share with others the same truths together.

Sunday Nursery and Classes are back!
