Children's Church is a growing and vibrant part of our ministry. Our youngest children enjoy a time of informal play in the nursery during the first part of our worship, while children age four and up participate in "Godly Play," a curriculum that uses children's natural gifts of imagination, curiosity, and initiative to explore stories from the Bible. Our aim is to create an environment of safety, creativity, and trust, where imagination flourishes, and young minds feel free to explore and discover.

The mission of Hope's Children's Church is to help young people discover the loving grace of God revealed in Jesus Christ. We do this by:

• Celebrating God's gifts of creativity by making crafts, singing songs, playing games, and telling stories.
• Exploring and experiencing forms of Christian worship.
• Learning stories about God's relationship with the human family.
• Fostering an ethic of care and a sense of responsibility for each other and for all of creation.
