Children's Ministry
For kiddos and family from birth through 5th grade.
Nursery
Children’s noise is the best noise! This means children are always welcome in our worship services. However, if a caregiver needs a break, our nursery is open every worship for kids up to 3 years old.
Children's Church
During our Sunday morning worship services, we have a time of teaching for kids of all ages called Time with Children. Following this teaching, children up to second grade are invited to leave for learning sacred stories with great leaders. Kids after the sermon and are present for communion. At Abiding Hope, all are welcome at the communion table no matter your age, so we hope your entire family will join us!
Family Life Sundays
Family Life Sundays happens throughout the school year from 9:30-10:15 in the Family Life Center. We begin with upbeat songs and fun for all ages. After a short teaching, kids are invited to move next door for activities, storytelling, and play. Adults stay in the Family Life Center for inspiring teaching and focused conversation. Kiddos are more the welcome to stay with their adult if they do not want to leave.
