Children's Sunday School
We offer Sunday school during the 10:30 service. Children can stay with their parents for the singing and leave before the message. Our children are using Great Commission Publications' "Show Me Jesus" curriculum. We meet in the Middle School building.

Youth Group
The youth, grades 6th - 12th grade, meet on Wednesday nights for learning, fellowship, and fun. Currently, we are looking at major themes in 1 & 2 Corinthians and how those ideas point us to standing for Christ in our schools, neighborhoods, and homes. We begin our meetings at 6:30 pm on the basketball court, finishing up at 9:00 pm.
