Children's Ministries Sign Up
We are excited to announce we are working to launch Sunday morning Childcare as well as Collide Kids Wednesdays soon! We want to do this as safely and securely as possible, to protect kids and volunteers. Not only will we continue to follow CDC health guideline requirements within these ministries, (mask wearing, social distancing, cleaning, etc.) but all volunteers must complete a background check (performed by CLC) and a Statement of Faith. Volunteer sign up sheet and forms are available at the front desk. Please consider how you can serve your church family!

What is faith?
Faith is the most important thing, when it's placed in the right place! When we place our faith in Jesus, the rewards are out of this world! |

A message from
Pastor Mike: |
|
"But Jesus asked the children to come to him.
Let the little children come to me, he said.
Don't keep them away. God's kingdom belongs to people like them."
Luke 18:16
Let the little children come to me, he said.
Don't keep them away. God's kingdom belongs to people like them."
Luke 18:16
Kids - Come 'plant' yourself in the Garden!
See how much fun it can be to learn about God. Come Grow With Us!
From the beginning, we determined that we would be a child-friendly community. We want to pass on the faith to the next generation. Reaching this goal won't be done by doing things the same old way. The challenges are tougher. We're excited that our children's ministry is led by a creative team of people who engage the children in exciting ways.
We're blessed with unusual "classrooms" -- almost 30 acres of woods, greenhouses, gardens, a creek, and much more. We are still working to develop this site's tremendous potential.
Most of our children stay with us during the first 20 minutes of worship and then are invited to their age-appropriate, interactive educational time during the school year. Our Garden classes take a break in the summer, to give kids the benefit of experiencing and participating in Worship for a season. Much is gained by observing others in worship and life-long traditions begin to be established. Even when the kids seem to not pay attention, or you think the material is over their heads, they absorb more than we give them credit for. And, as it says in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."
