VBS
Each year we invite the children of the community to come learn more about God with us for a week. This is a very exciting time in our church. The church is full of children, youth and adult volunteers that are excited about a week of fun and fellowship. The kids learn daily Bible messages through music, Bible dramas, crafts, games and snacks. We have a closing dinner and program on Friday night that lets parents, grandparents and friends see what the children have been learning all week.

Handbells
The children love to play in the bell choir. No experience or practice is needed. The children play from color coded cards that match the color of the bell they are playing. The children play the handbells on occasion in both the Traditions and Ignite Services. All children are encouraged to participate.
