Elementary

A point of connection for kids in PreK-3rd grade as they grow to know Jesus for themselves

About Children’s Ministry

The early elementary school years are a critical time for students to not only learn about God but begin developing a personal relationship with Him. We believe this process is best aided by four points of connection: God, parents, leaders, and peers. By working to strengthen these four areas in the lives of kids, we hope to see them grow in their own personal relationship with Jesus.
