One service time, Different service oportunities and learning opporutnities

There is one motivating factor in why we do our service schedule the way we do.
We believe parents are the primary disciple-makers in a child's life.

So why do we schedule teachers and assistants quarterly and monthly?

• We want our teachers, parents and children to glorify God, grow as disciples and help others.  
• The quarterly commitment during the 9:00 am Bible Teaching Hour provides opportunities for the same teachers to build into children's lives and connect with parents over an extended period of time
• The quarterly commitment during the 9:00 am Bible Teaching Hour also provides opportunities for teachers to take classes and learn and grow so they can even more effectively minister to the children.
• The monthly commitment during the 10:30 am Worship Service allows teachers to serve the children and not miss our great Sunday morning worship services too many weeks in a row.

Currently, our biggest need is during the 10:30 Worship Service time.
