Our Preschool Ministry, called the PATH (Preschoolers Adventuring Toward Him), seeks to provide quality biblical instruction to preschoolers in the safest manner possible. It is our desire to see that preschoolers are provided with the most age-appropriate Bible lessons as possible during each program of the ministry. People learn more in their first five years of life than they do in their entire lifetime. It is important that we fill this great time of learning with age-appropriate biblical truths. It is our desire that children would learn to love God and the church early in their lives so that they may grow up to have strong spiritual foundations. Our preschool programming includes:
Sunday Activities
Sunday School (8:30 and 9:30 a.m.) -
Preschool Children (Babies through Kindergarten) are welcome in our children's department each Sunday morning for Sunday School. Our preschool teachers love young children and are highly trained and motivated. Each week they come prepared to share important biblical truths with their students.
