We want our children to know God, not just to know "about" Him.  We want them to know that Jesus is the true hero of every story in the entire Bible, the hero of all history.  And we want our children to experience the gospel of grace personally, that they are loved and delighted in by their Heavenly Father, not because they've been good, but because of Jesus' goodness and his sacrifice for them on the cross. 

One of the things about being a church plant (a baby church, just 2-years-old) is that all of us, including our children, get to see God working first-hand.  If God doesn't work, our church won't exist.  Our children also see that we exist for our community, and not just for ourselves.  We're like missionaries, and we and our children are on the front lines of taking the gospel of Jesus to our local culture in Yadkin County.

We believe that we learn from our children.  Jesus said that to enter the Kingdom of God, we have to become like little children.  So we have decided as a church not to segregate our worship, with children being in one place and adults in another.  The children watch the adults worship, and the adults watch the children worship.  And together we experience Jesus as He meets us.

Of course we have a nursery for our younger children (those 4 and under), staffed by loving women who enjoy caring for them.

We also have Sunday School for all ages at 10am.
