Our goal is for every child to believe three things:  
God loves me, God made me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

Awana is based on II Timothy 2:15 - “Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed.” Awana Clubs offer an exciting night of games, Bible memorization, and lessons to develop the faith walk of children ages 2 years through 5th grade.

Tuesday afternoons | 3:00-5:00pm
MCPHERSON CAMPUS

Children's choir creates lifelong musical memories for kids.  Helping to lead worship service helps children feel the power of the presence of God in the context of worship. Periodically throughout the year, the children's choir will help lead Sunday morning worship, and therefore imbue some extra excitement and energy into the morning service. 

1st & 3rd Wednesdays | 9:30am
REILLY ROAD CAMPUS

Being the mom of a preschool aged child can be exhausting, demanding, and lonely. The days are long, the diapers are smelly, and the household chores are endless.  However, the cuddles are life-giving, the wonder in their eyes is beyond joyful, and the overwhelming love in a mother's heart supersedes any stressful moment. No one understands the realities of this season better than another mom. Join our Mothers of Preschoolers group for a chance to connect, fellowship, be encouraged, and give encouragement.
