Children

Reaching Children & Families. Growing Faith. Changing Lives. 

    Our Children's Ministry, Kingdom Kids, exists for one purpose—to transform lives by reaching out to children & families, assisting them in growing relationships with Christ & becoming leaders for the Kingdom.
The Kingdom Kids children’s ministry is high energy, exciting, life-changing and tons of fun!
Our events, programs and Bible study curriculum align with our core values:
 
Spirituality—provide children with an understanding of the love and sacrifice made by Jesus Christ and the unconditional love from God the father that will encourage them to develop a lasting relationship with their heavenly father through prayer life and studying his word.
Education—establish a caring and accepting environment for kids to learn of God’s word through bible study and life lessons.
Love—providing a loving environment where children feel accepted and comfortable.
Character—teach children to live by the “golden rule” and strive to do right when no one is looking with an honorable character.  Such character values would include Respect, Obedience, Diligence, Wisdom, Kindness, Self-Control, Orderliness, Service, Attentiveness, Cooperation, Courage, Honesty, Forgiveness and Responsibility.
Motivation—encourage children to continue in their spiritual walk by providing educational activities that are exciting and challenging.
Outreach—promote the concepts taught in the classroom by offering opportunities for children to become the hands and feet of Jesus through mission work.
