Children's ministry

Kids on the Way

Walking with families as they raise their kids in the way they should go — “your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

We are strongly committed to giving children a biblical foundation.

We believe the Bible is the word of God. Teaching kids the Bible gives them the language God uses to talk with us. It sets them up for a lifelong relationship with their Saviour and helps them see what real faith looks like.

We have an excellent group of leaders who will love and teach your children. But if you like having your kids in church with you, we like that too — you are welcome to keep them with you. Our pastor has five kids. Your children’s wiggling and babbling will not bother him at all.

And if you do keep them with you on a Sunday morning, Amy is still an excellent resource for Bibles, books, and lessons you might want to teach at home.
