Children & Youth
Children and youth help make our church a vibrant, growing community.
Children of all ages are welcome in our services. From Church School and service opportunities to our popular Art Camp and children's music program, we have many opportunities for kids to learn and grow in their faith, through education, creativity and community.
If you have questions or would like to learn more, please contact us.
