CHILDREN & FAMILY MINISTRIES
The Children and Family Ministry at TFCA partners with parents to disciple and minister to families. Elementary-aged Sunday School, Kindergarten through 5th Grade, is offered at both 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services with parents, teen helpers, trained volunteers and CFM staff teaching a gospel-focused curriculum. Elementary aged children begin worship with their parents and are released for Sunday School during the announcements. K-5th grade Sunday School is held in the Learning Center, in the 6565 office building, adjacent to the church. Our classes for children ages newborn through preschool are held in the Early Childhood Center in the Lower Narthex during both Sunday morning worship services.
