7. Children’s Church – This ministry is led by Ron Weatherly and is a fast-paced, fast-growing area of the church. We minister to the children and have children’s church every service. Because of this tremendous growth, the group has been divided into two smaller groups – first through third, and fourth through sixth grades. This change was made because of the number of children currently attending, and expectation of more growth. We also have a Super Sunday Slam Sunday – a Sunday night service to reach out to the community and draw in unchurched children and speak a salvation message to them.

The Lord is leading the body here at Sherman into new heights and new levels of worship with each service.

The praise team is always looking for dedicated worshipers to join in.
