Children's Church
Children's church is a children's oriented time of worship in which they sing songs, share joys and concerns, pray, and hear a message oriented to the children's age group. Children's church is held from 10:45 (the close of Sunday School) through the conclusion of our morning services of worship. For children's church, the children initially meet in the children's classroom, and then at the appropriate time transition to the Chapel for their time of worship. The children will return to the classroom to meet parents/guardian's following the morning service of worship. Children's church is not held on the 1st Sunday of each month so that the children can be with their families for the serving of Holy Communion.

Acolytes
Acolytes serve in both the Sanctuary service and in the Children's church to "bring the light of Christ" to the altar as the service begins, and to "lead us forth with the light of Christ" as we proceed back into the world. Children are welcome to participate in the Acolyte program as their maturity level warrants. Please visit with our Director of Children's ministries for details about opportunities for training.
