Safe Harbor is the name for our children’s ministry. This is a SAFE HARBOR to learn about God. There is no condemnation about where anyone is in their understanding about God. There is LOVE for everyone! Children’s church is a safe place for kids because we understand that sometimes other places in life are hard. There is kindness, love, and respect for all in SAFE HARBOR. Safe Harbor and the children’s ministry is led by Pastor Diane Pulda and is available for children ages 3-12.

We believe that every child is created in the image of God with a wonderful plan and purpose for their life. Each child can follow Jesus and be empowered by God to do great things. Each child has gifts and their gifts have a place. Each child has a place in Kids Church!

We desire to grow into a team of adults and children who together believe in the truth of God’s Love, God’s Word, God’s Promises, and God’s Power. As we stand together in Safe Harbor, we are a light shining in the darkness. We desire that all who come into children’s church would become lifelong lovers of Jesus.

Kids are small and grow big. We plant the seeds of excellence and purpose now so that as they grow they will have confidence when they leave kids church to be a youth who loves Jesus. We have big dreams that the seeds planted in kids church will produce a harvest into adulthood for every child. We dream big dreams for every child!

Love never fails! Forgiveness always wins!

We ask that parents would connect with the team in Children’s church that morning, sign their children in and let us know any special needs. If you are new, we will ask you to fill out an information sheet for each child.

Play:

We allow the kids to fellowship and play during the beginning of the service as a time of gathering while everyone is arriving.

The Safe Harbor ‘Store’:

The Store is filled with toys and treats that the children can purchase using points (money) they earn throughout service. If a child wishes to save their points for a larger item they may and accumulate points over time and weeks. We allow kids to shop usually after we are done teaching on Sunday mornings.

Pastor Diane loves to challenge the kids to read the Bible on their own. She loves when kids know their memory verses. She desires that kids would be loving, helpful and kind to one another. She truly wants each child to find and develop their gifts. She has chosen to remain in children’s ministry because the kids are worth it!

Ingrid loves to laugh and have fun. She will stop at nothing to make sure the kids are having fun while learning the deep truths of God. Games, science, puppets, toys, and anything else! Ingrid also loves technology and wants to make sure that the message of God’s Word is communicated effectively in a digital world.

Dave loves to play with the kids! He is often found in the sound booth making sure there are ‘appropriate’ sound effects during the lesson like cows mooing, dogs barking, crickets chirping or anything else to bring a laugh! Dave has a servant’s heart and will do anything to help the kids succeed!
