Whole Family Of God Service

We observe Whole Family of God service quarterly, in which families and children are encouraged to worship together with the rest of the church community. As a faith community, we are guided by Jesus’ words to “let the little children come to me” and understand that we are called to work together to support, encourage, and raise our children and youth in faith. The worship team is working hard to make these services interactive, shorter, and meaningful for the entire body. We understand that for some the added energy, movement, and voices can feel uncomfortable and be an unwelcome distraction. During these times, we encourage you to take a deep breath and ask yourself, “What is God trying to say to me right now? What is this child experiencing? How can I help these little ones to worship God? In the event when children are having great difficulty in worship, we also encourage parents to step out of the worship space for a few minutes to attend to their child. Nursery care is also available for children age 4 and under for any families that prefer this option.   
We hope and pray that through these services we will all be encouraged to stretch out of our comfort zones as we grow, learn, and worship God with childlike trust and unbridled enthusiasm!
