Early Childhood Ministry
Friday Family Fellowship
Friday Family Fellowship gatherings are seasonal, family-centered experiences that bring families together in meaningful ways throughout the year. From summer evenings under the tent, to fall outings at the orchard, to winter GLOW Nights that blend worship, music, and movement, each gathering is designed to help families connect with one another and grow in faith together.
These events gently invite families into worshipful experiences and fellowship that are increasingly kid-friendly, interactive, and joyful for families in chilrdrens ministry.

We love having children join us for worship! Within our worship spaces at both Verona and Madison campuses we offer play spaces for children to use during the worship services. If you need to step out of the worship space at any time, we offer lounges with toys and live-streaming of worship.
