Children and Family Ministries
Higher Ground, the Children’s Ministry of Harvest, is available for students from birth through fifth grade during our weekend services on Sundays at 9 and 11 AM. It is our desire to motivate children to CLIMB to Higher Ground during their years in our children's ministry. Higher Ground equips children to build spiritually healthy friendships in their Communities, challenges children to serve others with Love, teaches children to Imitate Christ, encourages children to Magnify the Lord in worship and prayer, and mobilizes children to Boldly go out with the Gospel.

First Sunday with Us?
Make your first stop the Higher Ground Welcome Center, where we'll get your children registered, and give you a name badge for safe and easy check-in & check-out of our nurseries and classrooms.
Helping Sunday Morning Run Smoothly...
For nursery babies, bring a fully stocked diaper bag (bottles, diapers, extra clothes, pacifier & any special snacks or items your child may need). Having everything marked with your child's name will make check-in much quicker.
Arrive early to ensure timely check-in.
Arrive even earlier to allow time to take kids to the restroom prior to check-in. (Teachers will do their best to accommodate, but will be unable to "drop everything" for many bathroom runs per morning. Thanks for your helpful assistance.)
