Our kids’ ministry is guided by The Gospel Project curriculum.  This is a Christ-centered chronological Bible study.  It is the story of redemption, the gospel message of Jesus Christ, and our story too.

Each lesson includes video presentations, crafts to support each lesson, music and memory work.  Learn more at www.gospelproject.com/, and come be a part of our journey each Sunday morning at 10:45!
