Pastor Scott & Christina Futch
CHILDREN'S Pastor
Pastor Scott and Christina Futch want to see your kids grow in God. KidZone meet Sunday mornings at 10:30 in the FLC. Royal Rangers and Girl’s Ministries meet Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM. Sundays at 10:30 am upstairs in the Family Life Center in Room 2206.
KidZone is a fun and exciting place for kids, K thru 5th grade, to come and begin to build a lasting relationship with God. We teach them God's Word, as well as how to deal with everyday situations in life. We work to instill a servant's heart in each of our kids so, as they are growing, they too, will want to serve Jesus.
