Faith is a journey, not a moment. The Holy Spirit is working within us, guiding us as we seek to be more like Christ.
We believe the early years of faith formation matter enormously, and we partner with parents to help children grow up knowing the love of God, the story of Scripture, and the joy of belonging to a church family. A secure check-in and check-out system is used for all regular programming, and every employee and volunteer is background checked and follows the Safe Sanctuary policy.
Nursery. Infants through age three, staffed during both services and the 10:00 hour.
Children's Church. Ages four through second grade, during both services. Children leave the Sanctuary at the appointed time for age-appropriate worship.
Sunday Morning Discipleship. Age-appropriate Bible study classes at 10:00 for ages four through sixth grade.
Little Lights. Age four through kindergarten. Children hear the stories of the Bible and start to make church friends.
Spark Kids. First and second grade. Bible lessons, games, and hands-on activities.
Shine Kids. Third and fourth grade. The start of more in-depth Bible study.
Connect. Fifth and sixth grade. Deeper study and a bridge into the youth program.
Each summer, Vacation Bible School draws around 100 children from our church and community for a week of Bible adventures, crafts, music, and a lot of fun. Through the year: Trunk or Treat, the Easter Celebration, Children's Choir, and Children's Sabbath, when the kids lead worship.
Our Youth Ministry serves middle-school and high-school students, and it is built on relationships, because connections with other believers are what shape young people into mature followers of Jesus.
Remedy. 7th through 12th grade. Sunday nights at 5:30 in the Youth Area at the West Campus, with worship, teaching, small groups, games, and food.
Through the year. Summer Revive Camp, Winter Retreat, Youth Week, and youth Sunday School at 10:00.
Our adult discipleship groups are organized across several formats to fit different seasons of life. The goal is the same in every format: that the adults of this church grow in knowledge of Scripture and in faithfulness as followers of Jesus.
Anyone is welcome in any group, though they have naturally formed over time around age and season of life:
A weekly pastor-led study. Topics change with the season.
A weekly pastor-led study. Topics change with the season.
A weekly pastor-led study, with childcare provided on Sunday nights.
Each year we offer a focused study during the seasons of Lent and Advent, often connected to the sermon series.
“Faith is built in the long obedience of returning to the same room with the same people and the same Lord, week after week.”
For children, youth, and adults who are not yet members or who have never been baptized, the next steps are simple. Talk with a pastor.
Confirmation is offered annually for our middle-school youth, exploring the basics of Christian faith and Methodist tradition. New member classes are offered every week at 10:00 in the Fellowship Hall. Baptism is celebrated in worship on a Sunday that fits your schedule. We baptize infants, children, youth, and adults. Once is enough, as we honor any prior Christian baptism.
Pick a class, a group, or a study. If you are not sure where to start, talk to a pastor or send a note to the office, and we will help you find a fit.
