Our children’s ministry, is fun and creative while being grounded on the solid Word of God. We strive to create a learning experience that captivates each child’s attention, challenges their thinking and inspires life-change as they grow in Christ. All of our Children’s ministries team members have completed our “Plan to Protect” and have provided up to date police clearances.

Our nursery is staffed with loving and caring individuals who love babies! All toys and equipment are disinfected weekly so your child can be assured of a safe and clean environment. Children from nursery to age 5 have individualized labels prepared, noting any allergies, medical concerns and/or special instructions. Each family is assigned a pager number, so parents can easily be contacted if your child needs you.

Jr. Junction (age 2-5)

Sunday mornings for preschoolers is an exciting time! Our age 2/3 children are signed into their classrooms before their parents join the gathering. Our age 4/5 children join their parents for the first 15 minutes or so of the gathering and then are dismissed to their class along with the older children. Both classes participate in our large group/small group format.
Our preschool large group is a time of worship, prayer, teaching and application with our puppet “Sunny”. Small group is a time of hand work, discussion, organized play and activity centres. Children from nursery to age 5 have individualized labels prepared, noting any allergies, medical concerns and/or special instructions. Each family is assigned a pager number, so parents can easily be contacted if your child needs you.

Kids Junction (Grade 1 -6)

Connecting children to God and each other is one of the goals of our Kids Junction. Each week children participate in an action packed large group/small group format that challenges children with various learning styles in their daily walk with Christ. Large Group includes teaching, kid led worship, corporate prayer and Bible memorization. Small group promotes one on one interaction, learning activities, crafts and more!
