We meet for worship at the Rochester Family Y each Sunday @ 9:30am.  Our setting is informal, and we invite you to come as you are.  We sing, we pray, we read Scripture, we listen, we learn, we grow, and we fellowship together.

Nursery

Ages 0-4 years
We want kids to feel safe and have fun as they learn about the message and love of Jesus in a way that speaks to them. In the Nursery kids experience just that! After being electronically checked in kids play with friends, participate in games and activities, and hear engaging bible stories. 

KidsZone

KidsZone is for kids ages 5 through 5th grade! 
At KidsZone, we desire for children to know that God loves them and to equip them with Biblical truths in fun and creative ways while providing a safe place emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We desire to provide children with the tools they need for faith in Jesus Christ, a desire to be obedient to Him, and a love for Him that will remain throughout their lifetime.

Our passion for service and outreach flows out of our love for Christ and others as we seek to respond to the needs around us - both in our community and around the world.  Very often, avenues of service & outreach originate from a burden & passion ignited in just one person's heart which spreads to others.  We then discern how we, as a community, can take action as directed by the Holy Spirit.  We recognize that we cannot do all things for all people, so we prayerfully disocver how best to use the resources we've been given.  While we are intentional about service & outreach, we are more about people rather than programs.
