• Sunday School for ages 3 through 6th grade
• Bible study for children in 2nd grade through 6th grade

As a service to the community, we offer a licensed after-school program called Latchkey for school-aged children at Alamo, Brook Village, Ben Franklin, Crockett, and Sam Houston elementary schools Monday through Friday, following the school calendar. Staff and volunteers offer a caring, supervised environment for children for a minimal fee. We also offer a Mother’s Day Out program from 9:00 am -3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You may call the church office (940) 723-7151 for more information about these programs. They are open to the community.

We also offer weekly summertime programming, Vacation Bible School in August, and various mission project experiences throughout the year.
