A Place to Grow and Belong

EverKids is our Sunday morning ministry for children from nursery through elementary school. Our goal is simple: to create a safe, welcoming space where children can learn about God's love, build friendships, and feel at home at church.

Children don't need any prior church experience - curiosity and energy are always welcome!

What Happens on Sunday

Children begin worship with their families and are invited to EverKids during the service. Our staff and volunteers will help guide your child to their classroom and make sure they feel comfortable.

If your child prefers to stay with you in worship, that's always okay. We have a special spot in the sanctuary called the "Prayground" where our youngest disciples can worship in their own way with crayons, puzzles, and quiet toys.

Early Childhood
6 months - Pre K

Our Nursery/Early Childhood Care is offered during our Sunday morning worship service for children aged 6 months - Pre-K. You can sit and enjoy worship in the sanctuary knowing that your children will be safe and sound, playing with our nursery staff.
