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

Aubrey Pieper is our Children’s and Youth Ministries Coordinator. She often brings the children's message during the 10:45 service on Sunday morning. Aubrey is assisted by dedicated volunteers who help with Sunday School and special programming, including the “March to the Manger” at Christmastime.

During Sunday School time, children in Kindergarten through 6^th grade will be exploring the Bible together in the Art Room upstairs in Fellowship Hall. Youth from 7^th through 12^th grade meet in the Youth Room downstairs. On Sunday afternoon, from 1 – 2:30 pm, the youth FORCE meets at the church to explore the Bible in more depth and have some good Christian fun.
