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.

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. For specific locations, visit the Information Center or pick up a KidsWorld calendar or brochure.

Wednesday Nights:Continuing our goal to teach children about God and His love for them whenever they are in our care, we reinforce our age-appropriate Sunday morning curriculum on Wednesdays. It is our expectation that parents of these children are in the building during our these classes.

Wednesdays during school year, 6:30-7:45 p.m.
Babies-1 year olds:CW117
2-year olds: CW102
3-year olds: CW202
Pre-K and Kindergartners: CW206-212

Preschool: A well-balanced enrichment experience for 3, 4 and 5-year-old children where teachers encourage and support the children in a Christian environment as they build readiness skills for future academic learning.

Kindergarten: Provides children with a positive Christian school experience in a hands-on, interactive environment where they explore phonics, reading, writing, mathematics and science as they prepare for first grade.
