We are one family, partnering with parents to show the next generation the way of Christ.

Children are a gift from God! Attend any service at Mount Vernon, and you’ll see how much we love children. God calls parents to be the primary disciple-makers of their children, and we desire to partner with them in that task. Through our ministries, we seek to intentionally speak the Word of God into the lives of our children so they might hear and respond to the good news of King Jesus, who died and rose to save sinners.

We seek to include children with special needs in classes and activities with their peers and create a space where they experience belonging.
