Encouraging Children to know and experience the God of Wonder. 

At Second, we hope the most important choice is a parent's commitment to make Jesus Christ the center of family life. When weekly worship and church school a family priority, parents connect children regularly to lessons in how "Jesus loves me" and everyone.

In baptisms, the congregation takes each child into the church family. Parents surround their children with a larger spiritual family who promise to raise all the church's children in Christ' love. Our Sunday morning ministry is a place where children feel safe and loved. We surround them with familiar faces and teach them about God in a vibrant, creative way.

Church is not just another "thing to do;" it is the most important thing we as a parents can do for our children.

Children's Ministries Mission Statement

We are committed to providing a Biblically based foundation, offering children the necessary building blocks for spiritual growth and a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our teachers are mentors who provide a safe, nurturing environment where fun, worship, mission and fellowship are experienced.

We recognize that parents are a child’s primary spiritual educator and we are dedicated to a partnership with families in raising their children in the Christian faith.

Children in Worship Workshop - Once a year in the Fall for 1st through 5th graders and their parents.  The workshop teaches the different parts of worship, and gives helps and hints for families in worship together. And, families get to design their own worship service.

3rd Grade Bible Presentation - Bible in an easy-to-read translation are presented in 11:00 Worship in September so that 3rd graders get their spiritual year started off right. 

Sacraments Class - twice a year for 1st through 5th graders and their families. Each family gets "up close" with baptism and communion through interest center learning. They bake the bread that is used for World Communion Sunday in October.

"Learning to Use My Bible" Retreats - quarterly for 3rd through 5th graders. Different programming in each retreat to reinforce the fun and importance of scripture in a child's life.
