SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN’S SERMON
Children of all ages (and kids at heart) are invited to the front of the sanctuary for a children’s moment with Pastor Ivan or a lay leader. A simple object is used to teach children the truth of God’s Word and Show: Kids Are the Church of Today and Tomorrow! Watch Out! Sometimes they get loud, messy, and wild!
SUNDAY MORNING CHILDREN’S CHURCH
After the Children’s Sermon, students in Preschool to 3rd Grade are dismissed to Children’s Church with trained leaders guiding a child-friendly time of worship and Bible lesson. Children return to the sanctuary at the end of the worship service to meet their parents before the benediction (dismissal).
