Welcome Families!

At ALFM, we love having families worship together. Children of all ages are always welcome to stay with their families in the sanctuary for the duration of the service. We believe the sound of children is the sound of a growing church!

How Our Sunday Morning Works: We enjoy having children join us in the sanctuary for the first half of our service. Just before the message begins, children ages 4+ are dismissed for children's church.

Current Schedule: We are currently building our team to make this a weekly occurrence! For now, the children's ministry is available on a volunteer-available basis. If classes aren’t in session on a particular Sunday, children will remain with their families for the full service.

Need a Little Extra Space? We know that sometimes little ones need a "reset." Should you need a break or a quieter space for your child at any point, our additional gathering space (located near the Children’s Ministry entrance) is available for your use.


At the Ark we lovingly call the children's ministry space the "A.O.K Children's Ministry" in honor of Annette O. Kinnison, the Grandmother of Pastor Kier Hedgley.
