Sunday Mornings

We truly value kids around here!

We are intentional in engaging families through Sunday morning and mid-week ministries. Our goal is to equip parents to lead their kids in their relationship with Jesus and provide space for students to be cared for by leaders in the church and learn through engaging God’s Word.

We strive to include kids in as much of the Sunday morning worship service as possible to help them see that they are an important part of the church family. At DCF Students begin in the worship service with their families and then are dismissed to age appropriate classes before the sermon.
God & Me (3yr – K) and KIDS Life (1st-5th) work through a curriculum based on the Gospel Project, looking at how everything in scripture points to Jesus and what He has done for us through his death and resurrection.
Each week in the Dashboard (our weekly e-newsletter) we include the story title and memory verse for that week. We encourage parents to use these resources as an opportunity to ask their students about what they learned and continue conversations about who God is at home.

Nursery Care

Child care during the entire service.
Intentional care for toddlers and infants so parents can be fully engaged during the service.

More Info

Creating a safe space for little ones to explore, grow and feel cared for is one of the most important things we can do as a church!
