Chapel Kids

Welcome to Chapel Kids! We’re passionate about creating a place where children can experience God’s love, build lasting friendships, and learn timeless truths from His Word in fun and engaging ways.

We believe every child is a precious gift from God and a vital part of our church family. Our Children’s Ministry exists to help kids know Jesus, love His Word, and grow in faith through engaging, age-appropriate teaching and loving relationships.

PRAYER PARTNER MINISTRY: 
The Prayer Partner Ministry is such an important ministry in our church. Our Chapel Kids need to know that they are loved, cared for, and being prayed for as they grow in their relationship with the Lord. Your prayers can make a lasting difference in their lives and help them know that their church family is cheering them on and bringing them before God.
