Our celebration services are designed for you to fit in quickly and comfortably. We hope celebrating in this way will be the beginning of a life-affirming habit for you. When you leave our services we want you to feel as though you have made friends and been refreshed and enriched. Children of all ages are welcome here in any way you would like them to be involved ...
We invite all ages to join the first 15 minutes of our service in the Celebration Hall singing with us. Then, children “parade” into classroom areas .. For children birth to three years old, there is Wee Care Nursery; for preschoolers and school age children up to 6 th grade we have JoyWorks. For 7 th grade and up through age 20 there is Y.E.S.S. [Youth Event Sunday services].
