“You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” - Ephesians 2:19-22
“His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.” - Ephesians 1:5
“So now you are no longer visitors or strangers. Now you are citizens together with God’s holy people. You belong to God’s family.” - Ephesians 2:19

I am ______________________.
“Encourage each other and give each other strength.” - 1 Thessalonians 5:11
I become ______________________.

Children: Children of all ages are always welcome to attend worship service with their family. Settle also provides a nursery for ages 0-3 starting at the 9 a.m. Sunday School hour and running through the conclusion of both worship services. For children preschool-Grade 5, Settle offers Sunday School at 9 a.m. in the Education Building, and for preschool-Grade 2, we also offer children's church, where children sit with their parents at the beginning of worship and exit worship as a group after our children's message. Drop off/pickup for all children's activities are in the Education Building.
