INCLUDED JR.
Our vision is to provide a safe and loving environment geared towards meeting the needs of our participants while they learn about Jesus, make and form new friendships, and establish life skills. Included Jr. is designed with your Kindergarten – High School child in mind, and we provide multiple levels of support to ensure your child’s success. Whether it is being assigned a buddy and taking part in our inclusion opportunities through our Kids and Student Ministries, to the use of our sensory room, or the new self-contained Included Jr. classroom – we are excited to meet your child where they are and adapt our curriculum and opportunities to best fit their needs.
If your child is younger than Kindergarten, let us know! We can make sure they are well taken care of and have a great time in our Early Childhood children’s ministry.
What do I do if I am interested in having my child be a part of Included Jr?

INCLUDED JR VACATION BIBLE CAMP
June
Every year, our congregation gathers around our kids and Included Jr participants who are in Pre-K through High School for an unforgettable week at Vacation Bible Camp. Imagine a week where kids don’t just learn about Jesus’s love—they put it into action! Through powerful Bible stories, uplifting worship, and hands-on activities, kids will discover practical ways to love like Jesus by praying, serving, forgiving, and showing kindness in their everyday lives.
This exciting, camp-style experience will bring kids together in a fun and immersive environment where they can build friendships, grow in their faith, and experience God’s love in real and tangible ways. From interactive small groups to high-energy worship and engaging lessons, each day will inspire them to live more like Jesus!
