Children and Family Ministry | Village Presbyterian Church

Welcome to our Children and Family Ministry. We call it The Lighthouse.

Kids held a special place in Jesus’s heart. We agree with Jesus; we think kids are awesome! And we welcome the privilege and responsibility to hang out with, learn from and help educate kids.
