TO MINISTER = TO SERVE
Here at TGC, we have ministries that are designed to either serve you or give you an opportunity to serve.
PreSchoolers (NB-5yr)
These developmental years are the most formative in every child’s life. That’s why we are dedicated to not only tell our kids but demonstrate to our kids what God’s love looks like. Our prayer is that the seed of that love may take root in their little hearts so that it will grow into a life dedicated to their Heavenly Father.
Christian Cadets (5-12yr)
Kids love things that are fun and interesting. We believe that there is nothing more interesting than getting to know God and there is nothing more fun than learning to follow Him! Our purpose is to guide boys and girls into beginning their own personal adventure as the learn to follow Jesus.
Ignite (Middle School)
There is probably no more bigger transition in a child’s life than going from Elementary to High School.

We meet on Wednesday nights in the back building from 7:30pm-8:45pm.
