Children's Ministry
Our Mission Statement
“To honor God by nurturing children and families through spiritual growth, praise and service.”
“To honor God by nurturing children and families through spiritual growth, praise and service.”
Our Bible Verse
Proverbs 22:6 - “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Our Strategy
Our strategy is to combine the two primary influences that impact a child’s life, the family and the church. We use the colors Yellow to represent the light of the church and Blue to represent the love of the family. Together they make Green, which connects parents and leaders with the same end goals. We are a parent-driven, church supported ministry. (These colors comprise the "Compass Kids" Logo) |

Digging Into Epic Teachings of the Bible explores the enduring lessons of the Old and New Testaments. Kids build a foundation that guides them in living God's way. Dig into Scripture such as the Fruit of the Spirit, Armor of God, and Psalm 23. Kids discover that the Bible matters and is a loving letter from a God who understands them.
