CHILDREN’S CHURCH IS GROWING! God is doing great things in our Children’s Ministry and we want you to be a part of it! We are looking to add an additional group for our youngest children so that we can split our groups into smaller sizes and give this ministry more room to grow. This means we are looking for new leaders. We’ll need 6 more leaders and 6 more helpers. As soon as we get enough leaders in place for a 6 week rotation, we will get the additional group going.
