Our high-energy, Bible-focused FIRST KIDS Ministry includes preschoolers, children, and our Weekday School.
Due to safety protocols related to COVID-19, we currently offer Sunday morning and Wednesday evening classes for preschoolers ages two and up and hope soon to offer opportunities for all preschoolers from babies up. All of our volunteers are background-checked, and your child's safety is our top priority. DOWNLOAD OUR MINISTRY PLAN FOR COVID-19

A Year of Bible Learning
One of our FIRST KIDS Ministry's goals is to equip families with the tools needed to teach their kids about God's Word! To reach that goal, we want to challenge kids to learn 50 key verses and 10 truths by the sixth grade. Each month, we will review one truth and five verses related to that truth.* During the summer, we will focus on learning the Books of the Bible.
We will have incentives and prizes to encourage the kids to learn the verses and truths, but we hope you will accept this challenge as well. Plan a few minutes each day or set aside an hour a week to focus on the monthly theme and verses.
*Preschoolers up to kindergarten will learn the first verse each month. First through 3rd graders will learn the first three verses, and children in 4th through 6th grades will learn all five verses.
