Children's Ministries

This energetic class invites students to get to know God better through interactive lessons, games, and play acting. Students discover how God can help them with the problems they face at home and school. They explore God’s love for them, as well as his love for the rest of the world.

2nd – 5th grade

Games, crafts, and discussion keep this class hopping! Student dive deeper into God’s word and investigate how a relationship with God affects real life issues. The class is a fun, nurturing place where kids can share the challenges they face, pray for each other, and discover the Bible for themselves.

Junior High / High School

Games and mixers start off this class, helping students transition into thinking about how God can make a difference in the daily issues they face. Topics such as forgiveness, friendship, and evangelism are investigated through Bible passages and prayer. This class helps students personally connect with the God who made them and who wants to help them navigate the years ahead.

Matthew & Megan Girdner

Buffalo, NY

Matthew and Megan live in Buffalo, NY serving with both Cru (college campus ministry) and Bridges (international student ministry). Buffalo is a city bursting with need and opportunity. By itself, it’s one of the most unchurched cities in America. In addition, there are masses of students coming from influential cities in the US and over one hundred countries represented at the local universities. As it is becoming increasingly difficult for many to do ministry in closed countries overseas, many of the students from these countries are coming to the US for college. They have an incredible opportunity to reach the nations here and now in their own neighborhood. They desire to be a light on campus proclaiming Christ, creating a home away from home, and sending graduates out to walk with Jesus for a lifetime being a light themselves wherever the Lord leads these students post-college
