Kids & Families

Your family is a big deal at DMGC

Our desire is to reach children for Jesus Christ through quality teaching and fun activities intended to build a solid spiritual foundation in the heart of each child.

We will love your children - sharing the Gospel and discipling them toward spiritual maturity. We partner with parents, encouraging every family to make a whole life commitment to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Sunday Mornings

Nursery

10:00 AM for ages 0-Preschool years:
The Nursery at DMGC provides a loving and secure environment for our babies and toddlers through preschool.  Parents can drop off their little ones in our bright and modern nursery wing on the lower level and attend the service with peace of mind knowing that their young ones are well cared for.  All nursery helpers attend DMGC, are carefully screened and have background checks. 

Sunday School

During the 10:00 AM Sunday Service:
The elementary school years are a time when children begin to make their faith their own.  Students meet in the Sunday school auditorium to worship and praise the Lord together through music and then study God's Word in small groups.  Our wonderful leaders teach the Bible, the importance of prayer, God's love and how to apply biblical principles to their lives.  Children are encouraged to bring their Bibles to class every Sunday.  We will share with your children the Lord's desire to have a personal relationship with them.
