CHILDREN
& FAMILY
MINISTRIES

Our Children and Family Ministries aim to partner with parents to teach children of all ages about God’s love, helping them know Him as their Savior and share His love with others. We strive to provide God-centered people, programs, and activities that nurture their faith.

WITH GOD,

LIFE IS AN

Every child from newborns to elementary students discovers God's love through engaging Saturday morning classes.

We make Bible stories come alive and show children that church is a place to laugh, learn, and grow together.

Our caring team creates an environment where faith and fun go hand in hand, centered on grace, worship, community, and service.

Community Service: Hands on projects that allow children to share God’s love with the community.

HANDS & FEET
MINISTRIES

is a community service ministry dedicated to supporting and uplifting those in need within our local community. Through hands-on activities, we strive to make a tangible difference in the lives of the less fortunate.

This ministry provides church members with meaningful opportunities to volunteer, fostering connections with the community and sharing the gospel of Christ by embodying His call to serve. Following the example of Jesus, who came “not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45), we aim to be His hands and feet in the world.

ADVENTURERS CLUB
