Children's Church will not be held on Sunday, October 26th due to UMBC's 2025 Women's Conference being held.

Children are one of God’s greatest blessings. It’s Important to help them grow in faith. Therefore, we are thrilled to announce our Children's Church! We cater to young minds to teach children important life lessons that will help them grow into healthy, responsible adults while teaching children about their Best Friend and Savior– Jesus! If you're a family with children ages 4 and up, this might be something you want to check out!

Thank you to our volunteers that make this possible. You are greatly appreciated and we want to acknowledge and encourage you that serving in this area releases parents to be able to focus on the service and enjoy time together - so thank you! Again, CHILDREN’S CHURCH will be held EACH 3rd, 4th, & 5th SUNDAY for AGES 4 AND UP.
