Children's Ministry
Sunday School
Sunday school is offered for children ages 3-5, 1st and 2nd grade, 3rd grade, and 4th and 5th grade.
This month, our Children’s Sunday School classes will be trying a new thing! The Children’s Ministry Committee has been reflecting on the importance of music for our faith formation. In the month of March, our Pre/K and Elementary Sunday School classes will meet with our Children’s Music Director, Holly Howell, for music for the first part of their time together on Sunday mornings, before heading to their classrooms. Please check the Faith Formation Weekly newsletter for details and updates about this faith-forming endeavor.
Sunday School takes place each week at 10:00 a.m. The location of each class can be found below:

Easter Butterflies
At the annual Easter Egg hunt, the children of our church and community created and decorated butterflies as a meaningful symbol of the promise of the new life of resurrection. These butterflies will add some vibrant color to our Easter joy and worship as you will find them throughout the church on Easter Sunday. Children will be invited to find their butterflies after the services and take them home with them to remember the joy and beauty of Easter.
