Catch the excitement as you become involved in Children's Ministries.

We know that the development of faith is a lifelong process that begins soon after birth. Through the children’s ministries at Open Arms, our ministry fosters the foundations of faith by showing your child love and security.

Nursery and preschool classes provide an opportunities for structured play and guided learning. In the elementary classrooms, your child experiences Bible learning activities, interaction with teachers and classmates and practical application for life.

It is our goal to give your child an opportunity for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through varied learning experiences.

You will find our Children’s Ministry committed to teaching your child the Word of God as presented in the Holy Bible.

In Proverbs 22:6, God calls upon parents to “Train up a child in the way he should go…”

We desire to work alongside parents in a supportive role, helping them to accomplish the goal God has given them.

God has truly blessed our ministry with dedicated, faithful, and committed volunteers and team members who are prepared to provide your child with a loving and learning environment—an environment where they will learn to embrace Christ's teaching in their daily lives.

For additional information, stop by the “Connecting Center” located on the northeast corner of the building, we would love to give you a tour and introduce you to the teachers.
