Jr. Church is now called Sunday School (children grades 2-5) are dismissed to their teachers at 10:30 from the service

Sunday School for grades 2 - 5 meets every week, however on Communion Sunday, they are dissmissed at 11:15.

Grades 2 - 5 are encouraged to stay in service during worship from 10 - 10:30 and for the message and communion on Communion Sunday.

Why do we have the kids stay in Worship Service of the first half hour and for the entire Worship Service on Communion Sundays?

The answer is, because they are a precious part of our church family. According to many current surveys and studies, kids who grow up in the church often stop attending church as teens and college students. Many leave the church because they never felt a part of the church community. We want to help parents raise up their children strong in their faith and rooted in a local church body. So, we intentionally increased the amount of time that the kids are in the Worship Service with their families and the entire Church body. We want the children to feel that they are a vital part of our Church. We want them to feel accepted and valued by our Church body and our God. We want them to see people of all ages Worshipping God in freedom and truth. We want them to feel the presence of the Living God in our Sanctuary. We want the entire congregation to be blessed by the faith of a child.
