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. The children will be brought back to the overflow room at 11:30am for parents to pick them up. This time is called Pathfinders and all children participating are required to have this permission form filled out each year in order to participate.
