Children's Ministries

Ages 1-10

New Experiences

Children are the heart of our youth. At the youngest of age to pre-teens, there are so many opportunities for children to be apart of youth ministries. Specifically designed with them in mind, we partner with our churches to provide programs such as annual Vacation Bible Schools, Adventurer clubs, Sabbath School lessons, and so much more. Our hope is for children to experience an engaging safe-space to try many new things.

Summer fun is about to begin

Vacation Bible School programs have been taking over our churches during the summer for countless years. Kids have been able to run, stretch, try new activities and foods, and play fun games. The success of our VBS relies on volunteers like you! This year, our Vacation Bible School training is virtual! Don't miss out on getting all the resources and materials you need to make VBS in your church a success.

He likes to work collaboratively with ministry teams, cheerleading ministry leaders, and creating space for people to share life together. Isaac and his two boys enjoy sports, both playing and watching. They are Falcons, Warriors, and Braves fans. Isaac strives to be the best dad that he can be by modeling the love of Jesus and believes that the message of the Gospel shows up in different ways along our journey. The most recent time the gospel was real to him was during his wife’s health journey.
