A place for families to grow in their faith.

Our vision for family ministry is to grow in faith, share hope, and to love one another as followers of Jesus Christ. We do this by offering safe, friendly, and open opportunities to connect with age-relevant teaching.

At each of our weekly services, we offer children’s ministry programming designed to connect children to God’s Word in practical ways they can understand. Additionally, we offer a growing number of opportunities for teens to get involved and to grow in our community.
