Childrens Ministry

Children's Ministry

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." Luke 18:15-17

Your children are a priority to God—your children are a priority to us! Our children’s ministry is led by enthusiastic volunteers who will help get your kids excited about Jesus and what He’s done for them. We desire to partner with you as a parent in helping shape your kids spiritually.

The 5 point mission of the children’s ministry

When a 6th grader leaves our ministry we hope all of them will:

  • Live in the unconditional love of God
  • Love and serve others
  • Worship God in many different ways
  • Understand the redemptive story of God
  • Offer the love of Jesus to those who don’t know him

Upcoming Events Open For Registration

P3: Play, Pray and Praise - April 18 - Current 3rd and 4th graders only

We will meet at the building at 7:30 am, then head out to Palo Duro Canyon for time of playing, praying, and praising our God in a place where it is so easy to see his awesomeness. I have the Tasajillo Pavilion reserved for the day, so we will be able to do all the outdoor things but have a place to do some activities inside as well. I will communicate with parents of the kids registered closer to time with our return time.

Each child will need to bring a Bible, journal, pen, water bottle, sack lunch, sunscreen, and good hiking/closed toe shoes.

There is a maximum number of participants for this, so please register soon if you want to attend!

Wednesday Night Live!

6:30 - 8:00 pm

Wednesday Night Live! is a place for families to laugh, play, eat, and simply be together. Throughout the summer, we'll gather each Wednesday night for fun, low-pressure evenings filled with games, good food, connection, and a whole lot of fun - think bingo, giant games, silly competitions, and moments your family will talk about on the way home.

But more than just fun, Wednesday Night Live! is about building relationships. There's something meaningful that happens when we share a meal, laugh together, and spend unhurried time side by side. These simple moments create space for connection - for kids and parents to be known, for friendships to begin, and for a sense of belonging to grow.

All throughout the life of Jesus, we see Him meeting people in ordinary moments - around tables, along the road, in the middle of everyday life. In that same spirit, these nights are an open invitation to come as you are, to be welcomed, and to experience community in a genuine and life-giving way.

Whether you've been part of our church family for years or you're just looking for a place to start, you are welcome here. Bring a friend and join us for a summer of laughter, good food, and meaningful connection.
