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 Move - Active Games For Active Faith
Following Jesus isn’t boring, it’s exciting! Knowing how much God loves us isn’t something we just keep to ourselves, it’s something so good it can change the world. When we actively seek to obey God and trust Him more and more each day, it
changes us. Just like the more times you play a game, the better you get at it, it’s the same with your faith. The more you practice trusting God and living life His way, the better you get at it. In this series kids will play a lot of fun and active games and learn that when God challenges us to “move” by obeying Him, it’s time to MOVE! Kids will learn that when God says “move!” We should listen.
Memory Verse: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” - Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Below there is a PDF containing the full lesson plan we will be using to teach your kids for the next 8 weeks. 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.
