Join us In-Person each Sunday morning during our 10:30am service following the Children's Message.
Spiritual transformation happens when kids come to know Jesus, rather than just know about Jesus. Our job is to prepare the soil of kids’ hearts so seeds of faith can grow and a true relationship with Jesus can happen. Every activity, song, and visual in Simply Loved is designed to help kids remember each lesson long after their children’s ministry years.
