The Chapel’s Children’s Ministry shares the love of Christ with the children of the Chapel and of our community. We seek to minister to babies and toddlers in a way that reflects the Lord’s love in the quality of our care. We meet preschool and elementary age children (through 5th grade) where they are, share the good news of the Gospel, and help them pursue a relationship with Christ. We want Christ to make Himself known in each Nursery, Sunday School, and Children’s Church class. Minister of Education, Arlene Vander Loon, oversees the Children’s Ministry on a staff level.

Mission Statement For Children’s Ministry

To partner with families in building a biblical foundation that, in God’s timing, will lead a child into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
