Children, Parents, Families




Who's Involved?

Every Sunday morning we provide a safe environment for kids from birth through fifth grade where they can learn about Jesus and connect with each other.


Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our ministry, and it’s an honor to serve with each and every one of them as they love on kids each week! Every volunteer who leads in the Children's Ministry has had a background check and is committed to making the ministry a safe, Biblically relevant, and fun environment for your kids.

American Heritage Girls

Girls K-5th grade

American Heritage Girls (AHG) was founded by a group of parents wanting a faith-based, scout-type character development program for their daughters in 1995. The AHG Program is dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. AHG girls across the nation and the globe participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement.

Children's ministry sick child policy


In order to keep our nursery and classrooms as healthy as possible we ask that you please keep your child home if he or she has symptoms of an illness to include (but not limited to) the following:

  • Fever equal to or greater than 100 degrees
  • Drainage (clear or discolored) from the eyes, nose, or ears
  • Abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Sore throat
  • Repetitive coughing/sneezing
  • Any contagious virus or disease (flu, mumps, chicken pox, etc.)

Children should not attend Sunday School or other programs until they are symptom free for 24 hours without the use of medication. If a child is displaying any of the above symptoms, the parent/guardian will be notified and may be asked to take their child home. We want to keep everyone as healthy as possible, including our children and teachers. The children's ministry team appreciates your help. For questions please contact the office.
