Elementary Programs
We offer elementary children a wide range of worship, educational fellowship,
and service opportunities to encourage the growth of their faith development and their relationship with one another. We also offer activities and events
that give families opportunities to experience their faith together. Sunday
School classes for elementary children meet year round during the school
year at 10:05 a.m. and during summer at 9:00 a.m.
