St Mark Kids... Planting the Seeds of Christian Love

The vision of Children’s Ministries is to plant the seeds of Christian love, to offer ways of nurturing children to grow, not only physical but spiritually. We want children to know God loves them and that they can have fun as they discover His love. Watching the seeds grow in the children is an amazing journey!

St Mark Kids provides many opportunities for children, nursery – 5th grade, and their families to grow in their faith journey.

Sunday Schedule

-Our Kids’ Worship event takes place during our 10:45 am worship services on every Sunday of the month. After our Pastor dismisses them from Young Disciple Time, kids may choose to stay and worship with their families, or they may join us for an interactive worship and learning experience. Children will be brought back to the Sanctuary prior to Communion and will be able to rejoin their families at the end of the service.

Acolytes

-Acolytes serve their church community by carrying His light into our worship services. Open to kids 2nd-5th grade.
