Children and families
Kids’ activities
We know that as parents you desire to see your children become connected with other children their age as well as express themselves in a safe environment. As a church community, we appreciate this and have created a diverse range of programs for children starting from birth to young adults, where your children can participate in a large range of activities that help nurture their growing minds. Each of our programs has a dedicated team of leaders who have a passion for children’s ministries and wish to see young children grow in all aspects of their lives.
