Sunday Morning Children’s Programs (infants through 4th grade)

Please click here to register your child (infant through senior high) so we may welcome them and know a little bit about their needs.

Our little ones are cared for by nurturing adults and youth who provide a warm and comforting experience. You will be asked to sign in when you drop off and pick up your child. Submitting a Children’s Ministry registration form will give us additional information about your child and enable us to better care for him or her.
