Parents' Corner
WELCOME PARENTS!
Thank you for trusting us with the tremendous responsibility of helping you raise your children in a community of faith. Our mission is to partner with parents and families to provide a solid foundation of faith that will help mold and guide children as they grow into loving, devoted followers of Christ.
Because we take the safety of our little learners seriously, all of our volunteers have been subjected to and have passed a comprehensive background check.
Our curriculum is always age appropriate and taught in a safe and supportive environment by a team of dedicated volunteers. We strive to make church a happy place where children are excited to be involved and to learn!
