Chapel Kids Club

Our Chapel Kids Club Sunday Evening Programs are designed to guide kids to dive deeper into God's Word through the Gospel Project. We want kids to connect Old and New Testament teaching to Jesus! We have intentional activities and games that connect with our lesson, build relationships with one another, and most importantly, build our relationship with Christ each Sunday Evening  from 5:45 - 7:15. We believe growing healthy habits of knowing and loving Jesus at a young age helps cultivate that relationship as they grow. We like to think of Chapel Kid's Club as fine tuning our spiritual foundation in Christ. 

Love Works

This ministry is designed for serving children and students with special needs and their family. Each child is provided an Individual Church Support Plan that will ensure their abilities and needs are supported by a trained buddy. We are passionate about faithfully providing each child with the love and teaching of Jesus Christ, either in a general Sunday School Classroom, with their buddy or in our Love Works Classroom where adaptive curriculum is provided. Love Works is dedicated to creating a nurturing, safe, and inclusive environment where all God's children can grow in their personal relationship with him! For more information please contact the Love Works Director, Heather Barkley, at [email protected].
