Countryside Kids
A place where children discover God’s love through laughter, learning, and friendship. Each Sunday, kids explore Bible stories, enjoy music and activities, and grow in faith in a safe, caring environment designed just for them.
YG - Youth Group
Teens in grades 6–12 find purpose, belonging, and fun at YG. Through worship, service projects, and real conversations, youth build lasting friendships and deepen their relationship with Christ while making a difference in their world.
Small Groups
Life is better together. Our Small Groups are where faith becomes real—sharing stories, studying God’s Word, and supporting one another through life’s ups and downs. Find your group and connect in genuine community.
