As Christ’s church in this place, we strive to glorify God in everything we do.
If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things, God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 4:11

We Value . . .
- Community – so we gather together for worship – for the glory of God
- Families – so we provide resources to encourage and equip parents as the primary teachers of their children- for the glory of God
- Spiritual Growth – so we teach, using all of scripture – for the glory of God
- Loving Others – so we serve like Jesus – for the glory of God
- Prayer – so our hearts stay close to the heart of God – for the glory of God
- Sharing God’s story – so we go into our neighborhoods and around the world – for the glory of God
We are:
- Ministry partners, (staff, parents, grandparents, and serving team members) and we are committed to building a strong Christ-centered foundation that will lead kids to trust and follow Jesus for the rest of their lives.
We declare:
Hear O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
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 mighty wonders. Psalm 78:4
Lord our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants, you have established a stronghold against your enemies to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8: 1-2
So Let’s Go!
- Be ministry partners. Let us whole heartedly love Jesus and commit to building a faith foundation strong enough for kids to hold onto and live out FOREVER!
- Create an environment that prompts awe and wonder for God. Whether you participate on Sunday CK or Wednesday KNA or worship with the “Gathered Assembly”, we affirm the teaching of God’s word in both large and small group settings.
- Utilize resources & opportunities that equip and encourage all ministry partners on life’s journey of faith.
- Plan family events that encourage community, outreach, and kingdom building for the Glory of God.
Thank you for joining in on this exciting adventure of telling the next generation the glorious deeds of the Lord so they will know and set their hope in God, for the glory of God. If you have questions or just want to talk – let’s get together!
