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 'Pumpkin Parables' - Small Stories With Big Meaning.
Parables are short stories that Jesus told with a much bigger meaning. In some ways a parable is a lot like a pumpkin seed. It starts out as just a small story, but after you spend time thinking about it you realize it has a really big and important message to tell. These four lessons will use pumpkins to teach children about 4 of Jesus’ parables.
Memory Verse: “Lord, show me your ways. Teach me how to follow you.” -Psalm 25:4
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.

Pumpkin Patch
Pumpkins grow in a big field usually referred to as a pumpkin patch. Jesus told a story about a man who found a great treasure hidden in a field and he sold everything he had to get it.
Scripture: Matthew 13:44-46, The Stories of the Pearl and the Treasure
Objective: Kids will learn that once we realize how great God is, we will value it more than anything else in the world.

Seeds
A pumpkin seed is huge compared to the tiny mustard seed, but even a mustard seed grows into something large and beautiful.
Scripture: Matthew 13:31-34, The Stories of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
Objective: Kids will learn that when we put our trust in God, He can turn a little faith into something great.
-
Hard Shell
A pumpkin’s hard shell hides a soft and gooey inside.
Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35, The Story of the Unmerciful Servant
Objective: Kids will learn that God doesn’t want us to become hard, but to have soft and forgiving hearts.
-
Stem
The pumpkin’s stem reminds us of the larger plant that it was once connected to.
Scripture: John 15:1-12, The Vine and the Branches
Objective: Kids will learn that we must stay connected to Jesus if we are to keep becoming more like Jesus.
