The Sunbeam Children's Center

The purpose of the Sunbeam Children’s Center is to glorify God and create sunbeams for Jesus by providing a safe, fun place where children can grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.  We will partner with families to lay the spiritual foundation for children to become followers of Jesus Christ.  We offer All Day Child Care and Preschool programs.
