Children's Church

Ages 3 years – pre-K will attend adult worship until Children’s Time with Ms. Joyce is over. Then they will move to the gym with Ms. Jamie Bickham for bible games and then a video presentation.


Ages K – 2nd grade will also attend adult worship until Children’s Time with Ms. Joyce is over.  Then they will move to the Activity Center and meet with Ms. Julie McRight for story time and then a video presentation.

Grades 3 – 6 will NOT attend adult worship.  After Sunday School they will move to the student center for “Kids in L.I.G.H.T.”  (Acronym for Living In Grace Hope and Truth.)  Here we will have a live band led by Mr. Tony Sheffield and a Praise Team led by Chelsea Campbell. They will lead us in music and fun that leads us to honor Christ. Bro. Cory Robinson will bring God’s Word to us in his message about “Knowing God” and why this is so important for pre-teens.
