Our preschoolers got to participate in a wonderful Children’s Chapel this week through our Children’s Worship & Wonder curriculum!

This Montessori-based curriculum is designed especially for children ages 3 through 2nd grade, inviting them into a full worship experience in a way that is meaningful, hands-on, and accessible to their growing hearts and minds.

We love watching our kiddos engage with scripture and grow in faith in a space created just for them. ✝
