A plan
STRATEGY MATTERS! There are 936 weeks from the time a child is born until they leave the house. That may sound like a lot of weeks but they go FAST! You have limited time to influence your child and we don't want you to miss any opportunities.
Kids move through various phases as they grow and mature. Each phase represents a time-frame in a kid's life where we can leverage distinctive opportunities to influence their future. EVERY PHASE MATTERS! The reality is, most parents don't have time to study child development textbooks and figure out both what's going on with their child and how to address it. That's OK because WE DO!
Every phase has significant relationships that can influence your child. Every phase has a present reality from which your child operates. Every phase has distinctive opportunities that can influence their future. Our children's ministry is structured such that we accomplish three primary goals:
-Forge significant relationships by understanding each child in the phase they are in.
-Keep parents engaged and connected to kids at every phase.
-Leverage the distinctive opportunities unique to help kids win in life.

an advocate
KIDS MATTER! They matter so much that we prioritize them in everything we do. However, to achieve our goal of helping kids win at the things that matter most in life, we need to influence those who have influence on kids and so...PARENTS MATTER!
No one has greater influence on the life of a child more so than mom and dad. This is why we are determined to be the best teammate possible and work to help parents through all the hurdles of raising children and maintaining healthy relationships.
By providing resources, hosting workshops, conferences, and other events we are going to make sure parents are cued in to everything they need to stay connected with their kids and to nurture a healthy relationship with their significant other.
A community
COMMUNITY MATTERS! Kids, adults....everyone needs a place to belong and people who care. Our goal is to create a community that is satisfying, life-giving, unique, and has the power to transforms lives. We are a people who simply love Jesus, love people, love bringing joy into the world, and love helping people experience the fullness of life. Needless to say, we love families and prioritize them in everything we do so, no matter where you enter our community, we are ready to welcome and embrace your family..
We want your family to win at life!

We want everyone to experience God in a way that is meaningful and relevant... especially our kids! We offer three Sunday programs designed to engage children and elicit a sense of wonder, discovery, and passion for God. Every week, we send home the "parent cue" which provides key information about what kids learned so parents can reinforce the lesson at home.
