All of the First Kids Ministry events and programming directly relate to our vision of living our faith, nurturing families, and serving our communities.

The First Kids Choir performs several times throughout the year, plays musical games, and has lots of fun getting to worship God together. We offer worship and kids programming at 10:00 every Sunday morning. Children participate in age-appropriate discussions, games, and crafts every week. Classes are offered for all children under the age of 3 for the entire duration of the worship service. Children ages 3-5th Grade begin their Sunday morning worship experience at 10:00 a.m. in the sanctuary with their families.
