Kids @ The WORD
MAKE HEAVEN
CROWDED
Our heart is to lead children to Jesus and help them develop a genuine love for Him. We want every child to build their life on the truth of God's Word, form meaningful friendships, and discover their God-given purpose from an early age. Through fun, upbeat services filled with music, games, and Bible-based lessons, we're creating a place where kids can grow in faith and experience the love of Jesus.
New here? We're excited to meet you! Our team will be ready to welcome your family at our first-time check-in station and help you get settled. You can also save time by completing our New Family Pre-Registration Form ahead of your visit. Explore our service times and locations to plan your Sunday with us!
