Children's Minisitry
Nurturing Faith from the Start
Worship
First and foremost, at Zion, we embrace and cherish children. During worship services we have a children's message before the sermon where children may come forward for a special message. We also have worship bags located at the back of the sanctuary with supplies for children to use during services. A cry room is located in the back of the sanctuary and may be used as needed.
Sunday School
Sunday School in the school commons every Sunday 9:30-10:15am. All children from preschool through 5th grade welcome. Sunday School includes a variety of Bible lessons, singing, crafts, games, activities, snacks, and more!
