The Contemporary service, held at 9:00 a.m. at the Ruskin Campus (705 9th Street. S.E), is especially tailored for families with young children. The children read the Scripture lessons, lead the prayers, and serve as acolytes. The children’s sermon, using puppets, drama, and object lessons to bring Bible stories to life, is often presented by the older youth. Sunday School with a Bible lesson, videos, music and crafts, is held in newly refurbished classrooms.

A sign over the door to the sanctuary says, “Wiggly Children are Welcome Here”. Rocking chairs and baskets of toys have been placed in the back of the church.
The Youth Group (6th grade and higher) meets every Wednesday from 6 – 8:00, beginning with dinner.
