Working with the church's children has always been a joy of mine. Over the years I have taught and ministered to children in various ways. Today, I am a mother myself and understand the importance of having covenant children learn the centrality of glorifying God in worship. As the leader of Children in Training for Worship, I feel privileged to be able to help shape our children's hearts and minds. It is my prayer that GVPC would be faithful to "tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done" (Psalm 78:4).

Children in Training for Worship is for children ages 4-7. Parents who are interested may excuse their children to this ministry during a portion of the worsip service. This ministry trains our children to be active participants in worship. Children learn what worship is about and how to participate.
