Our Children's Ministry exists to bring children into a relationship with Jesus Christ, to develop them as worshippers and students of God’s Word. Our curriculum focuses not only on a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, but also on our relationships with others, and applying scriptural principles to the choices we make in life. We endeavor to partner with their families in both evangelistic and discipleship pursuits.

The Children's Ministry provides a safe, fun, enriching environment for your preschooler, child or preteen to learn about Jesus Christ and discover how to love others and become a faithful Christian.

Our Children’s Ministry workers are trained and abide by the rules set forth in our Children and Preschool Policies Manual.

Bible Fellowship

Each Sunday, children enjoy a time of learning Bible truths, creative play time that supports the teaching, crafts, music and other fun activities. Children meet in the three-story brick building that sits just northeast of our main Worship Center.
 
Preschool and nursery facilities are on the first floor of the Children’s Building, and, for security reasons, preschoolers and infants must be checked in and checked out by parents or other authorized family members at "Noah's Ark."        

GAs (Girls in Action) & RAs (Royal Ambassadors)

Royal Ambassadors (RAs) is a Bible-centered, church-based, Southern Baptist mission education organization for boys in grades 1-6. Founded in 1908, RA boys learn the importance of being “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Cor. 5:20). Boys will participate in mission work, fundraising for missions, camping trips, and many other fun activities.

Girls in Action (GAs) is a comprehensive missions education program for girls in grades 1-6. Through participation in GA, girls grow in their knowledge, understanding, and application of the Bible. GA activities center around praying for missions, engaging in missions action and witness, learning about missions, developing spiritually toward a missions lifestyle, participating in the work of the church and denomination, and supporting missions.

RAs and GAs meet every Wednesday during the school year in the Children and Youth Building from 6:45-7:45
