Here in Kingdom Connection Children’s Ministry our mission is to establish an environment ripe for encountering Father God and to train up children that are rooted and grounded in Christ’s love. We strive to present the gospel in exciting ways to develop true disciples of Christ, a “Daniel Generation”. It is our desire that every child will be encouraged, loved, equipped and changed for the glory of God and for the advancement of His Kingdom. Whether that be through laying a solid foundation in the Word of God or by sparking a spiritual fire through worship and prayer, we are determined to see our children grow in their personal relationships with Christ. We love to have fun learning together!
Investing in our future
Who's Involved?
Every Sunday morning and Wednesday night we provide a safe environment for children from birth through sixth grade where they learn about Jesus and connect with each other.
Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our ministry, and it’s an honor to serve with each and every one of them as they love on children each week! Every volunteer who leads in our Children's Ministry has had a background check and is committed to making the ministry a safe, Biblically relevant, and fun environment for your children.
"Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court."
Psalms 127:3-5
How should I prepare my Child?
Each service your child will need to be checked into our Children's Ministry. After praise, the children will be released to their age-specific classroom. A volunteer will check-in your child on the Kidddo app. The app stores information regarding the children's ages and specific allergies. When you return at the end of service you will check-out your child with the teacher.
Thank you so much for helping us as we strive to make our Children's Ministry a safe environment for your children to learn about God.
Kingdom COnnection Children's Ministry Lessons
The unit we are currently teaching the children is called “Screen Time”. Much of daily life – even for kids – now revolves around screens. What are the risks? What are the dangers? Is there a godly way to use technology? This series will answer these questions and challenge kids to use screens responsibly and for God’s glory. Kids will learn to honor God with their screen time.
Unit Verse: Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
Below there is a PDF containing the full lesson plan we will be using to teach your kids each week of this month. Parents, you can use this to teach your children if you miss a Sunday or use it to review with your children throughout each week.

First Things First
Jesus tells us that we should love God with everything we have, and make his kingdom our top priority. How well do we do that? If we let them, screens can take up a lot of our time, and distract us from God, our first love.
Scripture: Mark 12:28-34, Greatest Commandment; Matthew 6:33
Kids will understand that God should come first. . . even before screens.

The Israelites were unhappy. They needed a distraction; so they had Aaron build a golden calf for them to worship. Has your screen become a source of distraction? Screens can change the way we think and the way we behave. What starts out as a little distraction can turn into something that we worship, if we are not careful.
Scripture: Exodus 32:1-26, The Golden Calf
Kids will consider whether they have made their screens an object of worship.

Eye Protection
Jesus calls our eyes the lamp of the body. If you look on good things, your body will be full of light; if you look at bad things, your body will be full of darkness. Are the things you see on the screen filling your body with light or darkness? We cannot honor God if we are watching things that dishonor Him.
Scripture: Matthew 6:19-24, Light for the Body
Kids will evaluate whether they looking at things on screen that they shouldn’t.

Screen Test
God has given us his Law, rules for us to live by. When we don’t do things God’s way, that is called sin. Has your screen time ever caused you to sin? Don’t let your screen time cause you to dishonor your parents, lie to teachers, or fail to see those in need around you.
Scripture: Exodus 20:1-17, The Ten Commandments; Matthew 25:31-45, The Sheep and the Goats
Kids will learn that screen time can actually lead them to sin.

All The Time in the World
Screen time isn’t bad in and of itself. The problem comes when the amount of time we spend in front of screen is out of balance with the rest of our lives. The Bible tells us that there is a right time for every kind of activity. Are you making time for all the stuff in your life? Kids will be challenged to consider the amount of time they spend looking at a screen and make a plan to create a better balance.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-14, A Time for Everything
Kids will make a plan for managing their screen time responsibly.
