For the Kids
During our 9:30 service, children ages 3 through 5th grade are invited to experience age-appropriate worship and learning downstairs in our Jesus & Me (JAM) program.
What to Expect
A Warm Welcome
You’ll find a church family that’s open and accepting.
Casual Atmosphere
Wear what makes you comfortable—anything from jeans to suits (though we can’t promise what comments you’ll get in a Nebraska sweatshirt!).
Family-Focused
Children are always welcome in our services. Children’s ministry (JAM) meets during the 9:30 AM service for 3 years to 5th grade. Once a month, we hold a family service and communion.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've never been to church before?
You’re absolutely welcome here, no church background needed.
What happens during a typical service?
Both services include worship music, time for prayer, and teaching from the Bible. The 8:00 AM service is more traditional with hymns. The 9:30 AM service features contemporary worship music. Each service runs about 45 minutes.
What's available for my kids?
During our 9:30 AM service, children ages 3 through 5th grade can participate in JAM (Jesus & Me), our children’s ministry. They’ll enjoy age-appropriate worship, activities, and Bible lessons in our newly renovated children’s area. On communion Sundays (the first Sunday of each month), families worship together.
Can I check it out online first?
Absolutely! Our 9:30 AM service streams live each Sunday, and past services are available in our archive. It’s a great way to get a feel for our community before visiting in person.
What if I need to step out during the service?
No problem! We understand that life happens (especially with little ones). Feel free to step out and return when you’re ready. If you have young children, our nursery room is always available.
