IN PERSON SERVICES - SUNDAYS, 8, 9:30 AND 11AM
CHILDREN'S FALL/WINTER MINISTRY.
After much prayer and discussion we have decided to begin the process of tentatively re-opening our physical building downstairs for our Kidz Ministires on October 4th 2020. We realize there will continue to be a wide range of emotions and opinions about these ministries gathering in-person again. Some families may not want to gather in-person at this time while others have been ready for several weeks. Therefore, we will need to extend much grace to one another throughout this process. We look forward to what God will do in the coming months!
AGE GROUP - UP TO 5TH GRADE.
As a way to align our church's family ministries with the format of most local schools and to better serve our families, we are restructuring our Children's and Youth Ministries. Our Children's ministry will now include nursery to 5th grade, and our Youth Ministry will cover 6th to 12th grade. However, if you have questions or concerns with you upcoming 6th grader in this transition, Pastor B and Pastor Monty are available to help.
