WC Kids
We believe fostering a personal faith in Jesus Christ in children is one of the most important parts of being a community church. There are many available ministries created for each and every age group, from nursery to sixth grade.
"Our mission in WCKids is to intentionally seek ways to partner with parents to help facilitate this journey.”
ALL ON CAMPUS STUDIES, CLASSES AND EVENTS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
