Built for young hearts

Step into a place where faith feels real and you belong exactly as you are.

Faith that sticks with them for life

We know that what matters most is not what happens on Sunday morning, but what takes root in their hearts and carries them through the week.

Jesus said, “I have come that you might have life, and have it to the full!” We want to connect our kids to the life that Jesus has to offer–both now and forever–a faith that sticks! Following Jesus, the disciples were often: amazed, confused, scared, filled with wonder, disappointed, surprised, and challenged. Ultimately, their lives were forever changed.

We focus on building lasting faith through relationships, presence, and the kind of spiritual grounding that holds steady when life gets hard.

“The whole church rises when we focus on young people.”

Kara Powell, Future Focused Church

We take intergenerational church seriously and encourage (squirmy) kids elementary-aged and older to sit through the service. It is easier to separate people by age and stage, and sometimes we need that, but the Spirit binds us together in all of our messiness. (Galatians 3:28)

Everyone begins the service with their family, joining in for songs, prayer and a special kids moment. Then, infants up to 1st grade are dismissed for Sunday School during the sermon.

Safe space for the smallest worshippers

Youth discovering that they are deeply loved

Elementary through high school students start together in one place to play games. Then we split into a Middle/High school group and Elementary group to wrestle with Scripture and discover what it means to follow Christ. The goal is real discipleship, real questions, real faith taking shape.
