children & families
Our overarching vision for children's discipleship is to see children come to know and treasure Jesus Christ through His Word. We believe the best way to do that is to help families own the spiritual development of the next generation. Thus, our approach to children's ministry is centered on the family - yet our hearts and our arms are wide open to receive children who lack a Christian influence in the home. Below, you can read more about what we do and how to get involved.

PARENT EQUIPPING
We believe that one of the best ways we can reach the next generation for Christ is by equipping parents. Every Sunday morning, we offer a 9:00 am class that is designed with this purpose in mind. Here is our current parent-equipping class:
Divine Portrait: Framing the Art of Marriage - This is an in-depth look at God's design for manhood and womanhood that provides a biblical framework for thinking, feeling, and teamwork in marriage. Class begins January 13 and lasts through the end of April)
