JUMP JUMP stands for Jesus Unites Many People, and the JUMP program is designed to do just that. The program begins with a meal served at 6:00 PM. After the meal, there is a time of singing and an introduction to the lesson topic for the children's program. This is followed by a Bible lesson in the various classes. The adults have a separate class while the children are having their lesson. The lessons for adults and children are designed in a six to eight week long study. Upon completing that six to eight week period, the children have a program to which the parents are invited to attend.

Children's Worship and Wonder This is the children's worship service that happens after the singing in the main church service. This is modeled just like a regular church service, but brought down to a child's level so that the children will learn the meaning of worship. Worship and Wonder is a special part of what the church has to offer and is another way that God pours His Blessings out through the church. So feel welcome to bring your children and let them experience worship in an environment they can understand while you are in the main church worship service.
