relationship with Jesus Christ, built upon the living and active
Word of God.

Preschool
The first five years of life are crucial to the development
of the child’s mind, attitudes, and concepts. By teaching preschoolers
at their level of understanding and using the methods through which
they learn best, we can help them learn about God, Jesus, and the
church.

Our Senior Ministry is a holistic program designed to
meet the needs of people over age 55. The ministry is theologically
based, recognizing that each individual is created by God and is
worthy of dignity, usefulness, and satisfaction through service
to others.
