On Sundays and Beyond
Sunday Mornings
NextGen Kids
Children aged 9 months to 11 years are invited to learn about the Christian story through games, books, activities, crafts, and more! A safe, welcoming place for kids of all ages, gender identities, and abilities, our NextGen programming is offered year-round during Sunday in-person services. About halfway through the service, children are invited to go to the gymnasium for NextGen.
NextGen Youth
A passionate, inclusive group for youth in grades 6 through 12, emphasizing spiritual growth through conversation, social justice, service, and fun!
Youth group meets Sundays during church and on an ongoing basis for group activities like board game nights, escape rooms, zoo outings, and more. Join our group for details on our next gathering and email updates.

We’re a seven-day-a-week church offering opportunities for kids and families to connect on more than just Sundays. Join us for one of the following fun events.
