Parents remain outside of the classroom so you can take your children to church after practice. Children will sit with parents in the church. When the children are invited to come up front, they will stand and sing. When the song is finished, they will return to sit with their parents. Children are invited to go to Children’s Church. If this is your first time attending Apostles, we welcome the children to attend Children’s Church directed by one of our pastors and assisted by one of our parents. This gives the children a chance to hear a special message tailored for their level and gives the parents an opportunity to hear God’s message as an individual or a couple.
