CHILDREN’S & YOUTH MINISTRY

  • Our K.I.D.S. Values: We focus on Knowing God, Involving in Friends, Developing Gifts, and Serving our Community.
  • Nursery Care (Infant – 2yrs): Our loving nursery is open during the entire 10:00 AM worship service.
  • Preschool (3 – 6yrs): A dedicated, fun class is provided for the entire 10:00 AM service.
  • Elementary (1st – 5th): Kids start in service, then are dismissed to their own interactive, Christ-centered class after the “Children’s Moment.”
  • Serving in Worship: We empower children to grow as young disciples by serving as scripture readers, acolytes, and communion servers.
  • Have Questions? Please contact our Kid’s Director, Dominique Nash, at cskidsinmotion@yahoo.com.

We believe families should worship together—even if that means things get a little noisy or messy! Children are always welcome in the main service. We even have a “PRAYground” in the sanctuary, a special space where kids can actively listen while they color, draw, and just be kids.

Engage is our ministry for 6th-12th graders, and it’s a family. We are messy, fun, and accepting of everyone. This is a place to be yourself, explore your faith, and know that you are loved by God. Everyone has a story, and everyone is welcome.

Our Focus:

Service (1x/Month): We share the joy of serving our community, church, and neighbors.

Discipleship (2x/Month): We grow in our faith and relationship with Christ through God’s word, prayer, and real discussions. We always end with a shared meal.

Fellowship (1x/Month): We build real friendships through fun events and outings.

Meeting Time: Sundays from 1:00 pm – 3:15 pm. (Check calendar for special event times!)

Get Connected: Contact our Youth Director, Aaron Thayer, at athayer81@gmail.com.
