Plans are underway for implementing a "child care" ministry for infants and toddlers in the new year. After we install much needed furniture and accessories, we will need the kind cooperation of everyone as we endeavor to serve our congregants and guests with a well trained team to host, oversee, and minister to the children. As we grow, and in order to do so, it is vital that we begin to train vision carriers in the policies and procedures that ensure the welfare of all the children in a ministry atmosphere.

Please see Kelly Bowerman if you would like to join this developing ministry.
