Our version of children's church, Elevate, is unlike any other
children's worship experience as we compete for team
energy, team participation, & team attention.  We worship
Jesus, learn how to live as holy kids, grab hold of some
incredible realities from the Bible, test our memories with
Scripture, & have a great time doing it all!  You're not going
to want to miss it.

Sunday mornings, we all begin together as families in the
worship center, & just before the offering, we dismiss kids 4 years to 4th grade from corporate worship to head to Elevate while parents can stay & listen to the message in the worship center.

Each week, kids get a parent flyer with the high points of what we've studied along with some ideas of how to reinforce that at home.  They also meet in small groups to share prayer requests & review some important points about the morning.

Overall, Elevate is a positive experience that kids enjoy, & parents are welcome to visit anytime.
