Children’s Ministry

Sunday School for students ages 3 through 5th grade is offered on Sunday mornings at 9:15am. The 2024-2025 Sunday School year concludes on June 15 and resumes in the fall. Age-appropriate Sparkhouse Lectionary lessons generally follow along with the weekly Gospel theme, which is reinforced during the worship service and sermon.

Please complete the registration form and return it to church, so we can be prepared for your child to attend. We look forward to helping your kids learn about the good news of Jesus’ love!
