"Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Mark 10:14)

We offer a number of different programs for kids throughout the year:

• Sunday School: With classes available from ages 3 and up, your children will have the opportunity to grow and learn about Jesus in a safe and caring environment. Sunday School is held at 9:45 AM, before our morning Worship service; Sunday School does not run on holiday weekends
  
• Children's Church: Children's church is designed for children ages 3-5, and runs during our morning Worship service through the school year (with the exception of holiday weekends). We offer a time of Bible stories, songs, games, crafts and snacks geared towards young children to help them learn about Jesus. Children will be dismissed during the morning service for this ministry. 
• AWANA: Awana, which stands for "Approved Workmen are Not Ashamed", is taken from 2 Timothy 2:15, which states, "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth." (NIV). All of our clubbers, from age 3-grade 6, learn things from the Bible, memorize Bible verses, and sing songs of our love for Jesus. The Cubbies class includes games and crafts, while the rest of the kids' activities includes a flag ceremony, acting our skits of Bible stories, and playing games in the gym or outside. As part of a year-long competition with prizes at the end, they often do things like bursting balloons with Bible knowledge questions, and participate in Bible sword drills. If you have more questions about AWANA, please call the church office, and they will put you in touch with one of our AWANA leaders.
• VBS: In the summer, we offer a one week Vacation Bible School program. Children ages 5 - 12 are invited to come out in the mornings Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM until 12:00 PM to participate in various activities including songs, stories, crafts, games and snacks, all while learning about Jesus. For more information please contact the church @ 780.623.4677.
  

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit- fruit that will last." (John 15:16a)

Our Women's Ministry is intentional in its desire to encourage and assist women in knowing Christ and serving others. We provide opportunities for being involved in helping those in need, developing relationships with God and encouraging one another.  

• Christmas Cards for Students: Each December, Christmas cards are sent out to our post-secondary students, along with a small gift for their encouragement.
• Support for Cecilia Huezo: This area of ministry is to specifically help and encourage Cecilia Huezo, missionary to El Salvador, with whom our church has partnered. Recipes, educational links and more are some of the practical ways we can partner with Cecilia.
• Blessings Market: Each spring, our church hosts a free "garage sale." Open to the community, we collect donations of gently used baby and children's items, and then sort/organize them, and offer them to any and all who attend the garage sale, free of charge!
