When should I come?
Feel free to join us at any point throughout the night! Groups will be sent to classrooms together with their leaders at the end of the worship service. If you are dropping your child off after 6:35, please walk them upstairs and help them find the classroom labeled with their age group.
What ages can participate in Splash?
Splash is for students in 3-year-old preschool through 5th grade. If your student is in 6th-12th grade, we encourage you to look into our Oasis and Flood programs for middle and high school students!
How can I receive up-to-date information?
To begin receiving important emails, please contact our Children's Church Coordinator, Elizabeth Matthies, at .
What should I do while I wait?
Families are free to leave the church between 6:35 and 7:35. We also welcome you to wait and socialize in the crossroads!
Who do I contact with questions or feedback?
Volunteering is a great way to get involved with the community and encourage the youngest members of our congregation as they grow in their faith! We are looking for all types of people to volunteer in many different ways. There is definitely a spot for you! Splash Volunteer Sign-Up
