" And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him." Luke 2:40 ESV
Your littles are important to us! We realize that it is a great responsibility and honor, that you entrust your babies and toddlers to us; so we commit to show them God's love and protect their great sense of wonder and development
" And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him." Luke 2:40 ESV
Your littles are important to us! We realize that it is a great responsibility and honor, that you entrust your babies and toddlers to us; so we commit to show them God's love and protect their great sense of wonder and development. We don't consider ourselves a "baby-sitting" service, but rather a center for learning about Jesus and planting the precious seeds of God's promises in the hearts and minds of those in our care. All of our volunteers have willingly gone thru background checks, and are followers of Christ, themselves. Feel free to ask questions, come in the nursery the first time you bring your child, and get acquainted with our nursery.

"How can a young person live a clean life? By carefully reading the map of your Word."
Psalm 119:9 Message Bible
The are many voices in the world, and we know that this world we live in, is in a fallen state of sin. Our children are being pulled in so many directions by these voices wanting to influence them, that we must cover them with prayers, but also sound instruction in Biblical truths that will light the right path God has for them. This class digs a little deeper, and while our teachers endeavor to keep it fun, we still want to see our kids "geared-up" for a winning life. Finding out who they are in Christ and what He has equipped them with, will help them stand against the temptations in life and not be ashamed of their trust in God.

What We Believe, what we stand on
Our Beliefs
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God.
- Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world.
- Salvation is the gift of God to man through faith in Jesus Christ.
- The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life.
- Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only.
- The Baptism in the Holy Ghost is a gift and is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues.
- We believe in sanctification, which is living a life of holiness.
- Healing is the privilege of every member of the Church today provided through Jesus’ death on the Cross.
- Jesus will return and “… The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air …” (1 Thess. 4:16–17)
- The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is eternally lost and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting.
Our Scriptural Foundation
The Scriptures
The Bible is the inspired Word of God, the product of holy men of old who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The New Covenant, as recorded in the New Testament, we accept as our infallible guide in matters pertaining to conduct and doctrine (2 Tim. 3:16; 1 Thess. 2:13; 2 Peter 1:21).
The Godhead
Our God is One, but manifested in three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, being coequal (Deut. 6:4; Phil. 2:6). God the Father is greater than all; the Sender of the Word (Logos) and the Begetter (John 14:28; John 16:28; John 1:14). The Son is the Word flesh-covered, the One Begotten, and has existed with the Father from the beginning (John 1:1; John 1:18; John 1:14). The Holy Spirit proceeds forth from both the Father and the Son and is eternal (John 14:16; John 15:26).
Man, His Fall and Redemption
Man is a created being, made in the likeness and image of God, but through Adam’s transgression and fall, sin came into the world. The Bible says “…all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God,” and “…There is none righteous, no, not one” (Rom. 3:10; 3:23). Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was manifested to undo the works of the devil and gave His life and shed His blood to redeem and restore man back to God (Rom. 5:14; 1 John 3:8).
Salvation is the gift of God to man, separate from works and the Law, and is made operative by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, producing works acceptable to God (Eph. 2:8–10).
Eternal Life and the New Birth
Man’s first step toward salvation is godly sorrow that worketh repentance. The New Birth is necessary to all men, and when experienced, produces eternal life (2 Cor. 7:10; John 3:3–5; 1 John 5:12).
Water Baptism
Baptism in water is by immersion, is a direct commandment of our Lord, and is for believers only. The ordinance is a symbol of the Christian’s identification with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4; Col. 2:12; Acts 8:36–39).
The following recommendation regarding the water baptismal formula is adopted; to wit: “On the confession of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by His authority, I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.”
Baptism in the Holy Ghost
The Baptism in the Holy Ghost and fire is a gift from God as promised by the Lord Jesus Christ to all believers in this dispensation and is received subsequent to the new birth. This experience is accompanied by the initial evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Holy Spirit Himself gives utterance (Matt. 3:11; John 14:16,17; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38,39; Acts 19:1–7; Acts 2:1–4).
Sanctification
The Bible teaches that without holiness no man can see the Lord. We believe in the Doctrine of Sanctification as a definite, yet progressive work of grace, commencing at the time of regeneration and continuing until the consummation of salvation at Christ’s return (Heb. 12:14; 1 Thess. 5:23; 2 Peter 3:18; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 3:12–14; 1 Cor. 1:30).
Divine Healing
Healing is for the physical ills of the human body and is wrought by the power of God through the prayer of faith, and by the laying on of hands. It is provided for in the atonement of Christ, and is the privilege of every member of the Church today (James 5:14,15; Mark 16:18; Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24).
Resurrection of the Just and the Return of Our Lord
The angels said to Jesus’ disciples, “… This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.” His coming is imminent. When He comes, “… The dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air…” (Acts 1:11; 1 Thess. 4:16,17).
Following the Tribulation, He shall return to earth as King of kings, and Lord of lords, and together with His saints, who shall be kings and priests, He shall reign a thousand years (Rev. 5:10; 20:6).
Hell and Eternal Retribution
The one who physically dies in his sins without accepting Christ is hopelessly and eternally lost in the lake of fire and, therefore, has no further opportunity of hearing the Gospel or repenting. The lake of fire is literal. The terms “eternal” and “everlasting,” used in describing the duration of the punishment of the damned in the lake of fire, carry the same thought and meaning of endless existence as used in denoting the duration of joy and ecstasy of saints in the Presence of God (Heb. 9:27; Rev. 19-20).

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 We are all called by God into His family thru Christ Jesus, and God has
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 We are all called by God into His family thru Christ Jesus, and God has placed each one of us in the Body of Christ as He sees fit. Our labor in Christ is to teach and reach those things God has ordained for all of us, and to one day hear, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." It's not just the pulpit ministry that God has called to serve, but every member has a divine call, grace and anointing from God to fulfil their call; and of that, we will each give an answer to the Lord as to how we lived and served Him and others. We all need each other, there's no "Big I" and "Little You" in God's Church, and we desire to see each and every person find their unique place in Christ. By gathering together in faith and reverence, we create an atmosphere for God's power and glory to be revealed. By going into the world with His power and glory, we labor with Christ to bring in the harvest of precious people He gave His life for. Whether you're single, just starting a family, or are a grandparent, we'd love to share in life with you and work for the Kingdom of God, together!
