We desire to see people come and discover the power of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that people grow spiritually when they connect with others and form meaningful relationships. When we commit to serve, we use our time and talents to minister to others and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in our community, country, and world.
We believe children are a gift from God. Our goal is to teach kids to love God by providing a firm foundation of biblical knowledge through meaningful and engaging experiences.
We also believe that the primary teacher for each child is his/her parent and caregiver. Love for God begins and continues in the home. Therefore, we desire to come alongside the parents and equip them to be a disciple to their family.

AWANA
"Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed" (2 Tim. 2:15)
AWANA is for children age 18 months through 6th grade and is held on Sundays from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm during the school year. The primary goal of AWANA is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to train them to serve Him. We teach this through memorizing key verses of scripture, small-group study, fellowship, and worship.
Wednesday Evening
From 6:00 - 7:30pm on Wednesday nights, your kids will experience missions in a real and tangible way through games, engaging in hands-on mission projects, and small group Bible study. Our goal is to equip every kid to be a missionary in their own backyard.
Mission Friends - Kindergarten & below
Each month our preschoolers & kindergartners will meet a missionary family whom they will follow from week to week.
Kids on Mission - 1st through 4th grade
Flyte - 5th & 6th Grade
Upward Basketball & Cheer
Upward is our basketball & cheer ministry that takes place each fall. This ministry is open to all students K5 through 8th grade. Our goal is to teach boys and girls the foundations of basketball and cheerleading while equipping them with the gospel of Christ. Sign-ups and evaluations take place in August.
"Some people were bringing little children to Him so He might touch them, but His disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw it, He was indignant and said to them, 'Let the little children come to Me. Don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I assure you: Whoever does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' After taking them in His arms, He laid His hands on them and blessed them."
-Mark 10:13-16
