This is an exciting program where children will attend one of the specially designed rooms for their class each Sunday. These include The Prophet’s Playhouse, Vine Grower’s Village, Desert Tales, Joseph’s Carpenter Shop, Mary & Martha’s Bed and Breakfast, Joyful Celebration, and God’s World .com.

JYF - Youth Fellowship for grades 4 & 5

JYF stands for Junior Youth Fellowship.  This group introduces the concept of church youth group and begins to form a foundation of longevity in church participation.

JYF provides opportunities for relationship building, fun, learning what it means to be a Disciple of Jesus Christ, and a young person within the world. It is the purpose of JYF to build upon the experiences of the earlier years in our Primary Department with more emphasis upon spiritual development.
