SUNDAY SERVICES
Every Sunday, you and your children are invited to receive God’s gift of Holy Communion. In Holy Communion God offers the gifts of forgiveness of sins and unity within the Body of Christ, the church. Grape juice and gluten free communion available.
FOR KIDS

Gethsemane's Children's Ministry offers a weekly age-appropriate experience for children ages 3-18. Excluding the summer months (June-July-August), we meet each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Your child can be engaged in relevant Bible stories, hands-on activities, and small and large group discussions.

We strive to create an environment that is kid-friendly and Christ-centered. Our teachers are trained to create an atmosphere of love and respect, as they teach your children through stories, music, and play. Sunday School will begin on Sept 7th this year.
