Children

 
"Growing kids to reach out for Christ."
 
Our Vision:
 Kingdom Kids bring glory to God through their attitudes, actions and eagerness to learn and share about God and His Word. They worship, love, and serve the Lord and reach out for Christ as His committed followers.
 
Our Mission:
 Partnering with parents in teaching Biblical truths and modeling Christlikeness so that children develop a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
Our Core Values:
 Child-oriented:  Age appropriate curriculum, creative activities, and service opportunities help children with a variety of learning styles grow in a safe environment.
 Applicable:  Bible stories and activities reinforce a Biblical world view and apply to the everyday life experiences of children.
 Relational:  Part of partnering with parents is providing a shepherding relationship between adult leaders and children and involving parents in ministry with children.
 Excellence:  Excellence in all areas inspires people and honors God.
