they are precious in his sight!

Connecting children and families through a relationship with God


Here at Castleton, we believe that every moment matters.

  

Each prayer, praise and God moment we want to share as a congregation.  

We desire to help our kids see how active God really is in our lives. 

 

This is why we believe it is important for families to worship and pray together.  

Something very special happens when children are able to witness

first-hand how people of all generations live out a life devoted to Jesus.

  

We also find that our mature believers benefit from being able to pour into younger lives.  

It is our prayer that God will reveal himself to your child in those precious moments as a congregation.  


After worship, the children are dismissed where a lesson is shared from the Bible that is geared to their age.
