Does your Bud ever wish she could go to “big church” for the worship time?  Does your Aspen or elementary child love joining you for worship on Sundays but wish he could stay longer?

Well, Chris Martin has gathered the full worship band together to prepare a time of extended worship for kids and their families.  We’ll be removing the first few rows of chairs for freedom of movement (twirling), ...

Many of you spend time imagining what your kids are going to be like when they grow up.  You dream about what sports they’ll play, where they’ll go to school, who their friends will be, what kind of person they will marry, what their pursuit of God will look like.  And you’re hoping and praying they just don’t get pregnant or impregnate anyone in high school.

Thanks to Sammie Taylor for ...
