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.
We are going virtual or meeting outdoors until it’s safe for our community to return indoors. Please join us for Second Saturday Drive-Thrus, virtual Lighthouse Lessons and for special events like Parking-Lot Bingo Night. And we are always at online worship on Sunday mornings.
