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.

Join the adventure!

VBS - Emerald Crossing

VBS Save the date:

August 3rd-7th 6:30-9:00pm

Family day August 8, 10:00am - Noon 

This year we are leading our children on a journey through Psalm 23.  Kids today are more anxious and fearful than ever before. Emerald Crossing leads them to know the God that not only created them and but also cares for them. They will learn that the Word of God is a trustworthy foundation and that they have a Good Shepherd who takes care of their souls.

March 22nd, VBS Sign-up day

We need many volunteers, both before VBS and during the week.  If you can cut, glue, listen to memory verses or pray, you can be a part of our VBS. If you are curious about VBS and want to know where you can serve, stop by the table and talk to one of the VBS planning team members that day. We will answer your questions and help guide you to an area where you can serve.  Be praying about where God will use you!

April 26th VBS Kick-off lunch

 Join us immediately following the morning service as we talk about all our exciting plans for this year's VBS. Our VBS planning team will be demonstrating some of the games, showing crafts and science experiments, and you will have the opportunity to sample some of the snacks. Even if you think you are unable to serve in a classroom, there is a place for you! Please RSVP for this event by April 19th.

VBS Donations: MARCH Bubble wrap and packing paper

If you receive packages that include bubble wrap and brown packing paper, please save it for VBS. In March, we will have an area set up for you to bring in your donations.
