"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 |
Our desire is to make our Sunday Morning Children's Ministry an engaging and safe place where your children can be cared for and experience God's love. We want all of our Children's ministry kids to know that God loves them, God made them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever.

Each month families receive a parent newsletter that highlights the prior months focus and special activities.

HOW TO VOLUNTEER: |
Our little people need a safe and loving space where they can learn about Jesus on Sunday mornings. Compass Kids volunteers play a critical role in making that happen. Ministry happens because of passionate volunteers who are committed to serving the next generation. Serving is a great way to find out what your kids are experiencing and put your gifts and skills to use.
