Our KidsWorld Vision
To help children love God and love people by ...

• Learning God's Word
• Developing Lasting Friendships
• Becoming Like Jesus

Our Mission
To share the heart of God for children and families by equipping them with a strong biblical foundation, connecting them together in community and love, and developing lifelong disciples who love Jesus and serve others with Christ's message of hope.

Elementary: Grades 1-4
The elementary ministry challenges students in grades 1-4 to grow in their faith by learning what the Bible says and applying it to their everyday lives.

Sunday Mornings: Our leaders, along with hundreds of volunteers, lovingly share Jesus in all our age-specific classes during the 9:15 & 10:45 a.m. worship services.

Plug In
9:15 a.m., locations below
In small groups, students dig into God's Word and learn a specific Bible story or lesson. A smaller amount of time is spent in large groups, reinforcing the day's teaching.

Power Up
10:45 a.m., locations below
Children see the Bible story applied in live action through drama. Small groups help the children individualize what they have learned. Both services teach the same lesson each week and a monthly theme allows families to grow together as children explore a biblical character trait from several angles. Family resources to supplement the weekly lesson are available at http://www.familywise.org/ for a fee.
