Children
The Children's Ministry of Wayside Chapel desires to lay the foundation on which children may come to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and grow in relationship with Him. We seek to provide Christian education utilizing trained leaders, a clean, safe environment, and a well-balanced curriculum designed to meet the needs of children of all ages.
It's not easy to be a kid these days. At Wayside Chapel, we want to provide an excellent, Bible-based ministry for children and their families. We're here to teach them who God is by knowing the Bible in a real way so that they understand what God wants them to do in any situation.
