Our Mission
Kingdom Focused Involved in Fellowship Discipled as Believers Service Minded
To create a safe, loving, and welcoming environment where children experience consistency, feel valued, and genuinely look forward to returning each week. By establishing predictable and nurturing spaces, we create fertile ground for the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts—shaping, transforming, and preparing them to live out their faith and serve as ministers of the Gospel in the mission field the Lord has placed them. Through intentional discipleship, our goal is to instill Biblical Truths in children, so they learn to be guided by God’s Word rather than passively shaped by the influences of the world. We seek to equip them with foundational spiritual disciplines that will support a lifelong relationship with Christ, including:
- Teaching and practicing meaningful worship and prayer
- Regular engagement with God’s Word
- Helping children learn how to navigate and understand the Bible
- Encouraging Scripture memorization
- Equipping children to develop a habit of spending intentional time with the Lord each day
By doing this, we aim to disciple children who not only know Scripture, but who are learning how to listen to God, live out their faith, and grow into spiritually grounded believers.

Illumination Station VBS
Invite a friend to Illumination Station VBS for the brightest week of the year! While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher but He is much more than that. At Illumination Station VBS, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus’ important question to His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world. Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in The darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
