Kids in the Word - age 3 to Grade 5 - Sundays

Our church is a church family. In a family, children learn from adults, so we model our worship to our children and include them in the first half of our worship service. Halfway through the service, the children will be dismissed to go downstairs for a large group activity and then a small group lesson geared towards their age. This time is called Kids in the Word and all children participating are required to have this permission form filled out in order to participate. Additionally it needs to be renewed each September when the program kicks off again for the year.

Youth Group - Grade 6 to Grade 12 - Thursdays @ 7pm - 9pm

We have a Youth group that meets weekly. All students age 17 and younger are required to have a permission form filled out in order to participate. Additionally it needs to be renewed each September when the program kicks off again for the year.

Please note that for the safety of our youth we ask that parents arrange transportation to and from Youth Group beforehand.
