Everyone is given the opportunity to worship, play, learn about Jesus and grow together with their peers in an age appropriate setting for each child and student.

“We will not hide these truths from our children;
we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord,
about his power and his mighty wonders...
so that they set their hope in God and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments.”
Psalm78:4, 7
FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP RESOURCES
Time with God
Spending time with God, through Bible reading and prayer, is essential to growing in your relationship with Him. God desires for us to know him more and that happens when we meet him daily.
The Lord's Supper
The Lord’s Supper can be an amazing time of worship and reflection for your child. The key is to talk with them before the time comes so that they can watch or participate with an understanding of what’s taking place.
Prayer
Prayer is communication with God and it is essential to a Christian's relationship with Him and every Christian home.
Prayer Journal 2
Here is another prayer journal catered just for kids, different from the first.

Need To Worship From Home?
- Prepare your family before hand by having conversations about worshiping together online.
- Gather some quiet activities that your kids can interact with during the service. (examples: play-dough, crayons and paper, Legos, puzzles, etc.)
- Be patient, give grace, and point them to Jesus.
