This 2-year curriculum goes from God’s work in creation, the life and work of Jesus, and the promises of God in scripture. Our goal in this class is to introduce our young children to the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.
Kids, Sundays (1st-5th Grade)
Our Sunday morning elementary discipleship class is currently working through the Biggest Story by Crossway. This 2-year curriculum will walk our kids from the book of Genesis to Revelation.

Announcements and Next steps
how to become a christian
Becoming a Christian involves believing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We must accept what the Bible says about God, the world, and us. First, God rules the world in truth and righteousness. Second, the world - including us- rebels against God and revels in sin. Third, Jesus Christ reconciles us to God when we confess our sin and trust his forgiveness. If you are interested in becoming a Christian, we'd love to meet with you and answer any questions.
how to become a member of our church
We believe God wants every Christian to become a covenant member of a local church. If you want to learn more about our church, we invite you to attend our Meaningful Membership class. We offer this six week class at different times throughout the year. Attending the class will not obligate you to become a church member, but we do ask all new members to take the class.
Giving
You may give an offering online by clicking here, by mailing a check to the church, or by dropping an offering in a plate in the church foyer. If you currently don't receive envelopes for giving and would like to, please call the church office or send an email to our Finance Office and we can get envelopes set up for you. If you have other questions related to giving, click here for a guide.
Livestream Link
While watching online is not a replacement for gathering with God’s people on the Lord’s Day, the livestream will be available on Vimeo, YouTube, and our website for those that are providentially hindered from gathering.
Need Prayer?
We would love to pray for you! You can submit a prayer request by clicking here, or by replying to this email.
