Students

Our heart for students is found in Psalm 92:12-15. “The godly grow like a palm tree; they grow high like a cedar. Planted in the Lord’s house, they grow in the courts of our God. They bear fruit even when they are old; they are filled with vitality and have many leaves. So they proclaim that the Lord, my Protector, is just and never unfair.”

Young Adults

The bridge between high school and adulting is out when it comes to staying connected to God and the local church. Our 18-28 year old groups exist to carry college students and 20 somethings on a spiritual journey that helps them build their faith and connect to the church.

Our Commitment to Parent Partnership

We believe the best way we can help your kids develop a strong spiritual foundation is by partnering with you. Together, we can help encourage, train, and pray for them as they grow in their faith.

This will help your kids build a relationship with their consistent Small Group leader and other kids their class.

Lesson Review

Throughout the week, review our current lesson & scripture with your kids.

Stay Connected

Stay connected to Kids by following us on Social Media.

Build Relationships

Build relationships with other parents so your kids can connect outside of Sundays.

Pray

Pray for your children each week as they come to church, and pray for our teams as they serve and care for your kids.

Baby Dedications

Publicly commit your child to grow in their faith.

Jesus’ parents dedicated Him to God when he was a child. Luke 2:22–40. We have a heart to follow this Biblical model, and we also offer the opportunity for you to dedicate your children.

At Baby Dedication, parents publicly commit to to help their child grow in their faith and to raise them in a home centered on Jesus.

Our team also prays over each family, and we have a Bible to give each child. Baby Dedications happen throughout the year and we’d love for you and your family to join us. Text us (574) 227-8138 to sign up for our next baby dedication.
