“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.” Luke 18:16

Upcoming Events
More events coming soon this fall 2025! Stay tuned!
Children’s
Church is a fun, engaging, kid-centered church service for
newborns through 5th grade every Sunday during our 10 AM Worship Service!
To participate, stop by the
Children’s Check-in station, located to your left upon entering the
church lobby. There, someone
with our Children’s Ministry team will help
check you in and provide a retrieval sticker for each child. After
checking in,
children will remain with you for the beginning of the
service until dismissed.
We take your child’s safety
and care seriously, so all of our Children’s Church teachers have their
PA Child Abuse and Police
Background Check Clearances. Additionally, we
ensure that only the parents/guardians dropping off a child will be the
ones picking them up.
For additional info on Sunday mornings, Plan Your Visit here.
