KidLIFE
KidLIFE is a place where kids of all ages can learn about God in a safe, fun, environment while growing in their relationship with Him and others.
KidLIFE Mission
Our mission in KidLIFE is to lead children to pursue at all costs a passionate, God-centered life through the love, power, and proclamation of the gospel.
The Four Pillars of KidLIFE
KidLIFE is built on the Word of God. It’s what gives this ministry its strong and solid foundation. KidLIFE is child focused, deeply relational, gospel centered, and discipleship driven to strategically produce committed followers of Jesus.
-
We want every child to understand just how much God loves them. Children are precious to God so our environments will always be safe, engaging, and welcoming. Our KidLIFE team members help children to understand Biblical truths at their development level through clarity and creativity while making these truths applicable to each child’s life. Psalm 127:3-5; Mark 10:13-16; Matthew 19:14; Mark 9:36-37, 42
-
Every child will learn that God’s Word is without error and is the absolute authority for their life. Written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, God’s Word is true, and children will know that by building relationships with team members that love Jesus and are living examples of Him. 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21; Proverbs 27:17; Thessalonians 5:11; John 13:34
-
We want every child to know their need for Jesus. By presenting the gospel regularly, children will have an opportunity to hear, understand, and respond to Jesus as their Savior and Forever Friend. We utilize gospel centered curriculum as a tool to keep the message of salvation at the core of every story, lesson, and spiritual truth. To strive for a culture that is engaged in the Great Commission, we teach our team members and children to be dedicated to sharing Jesus with those around them in their daily lives. Matthew 18:1-5; Mark 10:13-16; Matthew 19:14; John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-5; Romans 5:8; Mark 16:15-16; Matthew 28:16-20; Romans 1:16
-
We want each child to be prepared for the next stage of life in their walk with God. KidLIFE helps make this happen by providing each child with a solid biblical foundation, allowing them to grow in wisdom and knowledge while producing life change that lasts. KidLIFE team members provide support by being that other voice saying the same thing about God that their parents are. We will also support a child’s spiritual growth by resourcing and empowering parents to intentionally disciple their children so that they will become fully devoted followers of Christ. Matthew 28:16-20; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Proverbs 22:6; Luke 2:52
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Frequently Asked
KidLIFE Director Rebecca Peters
-
KidLIFE is offered during Sunday morning services at 9:15 am and 11:00 am for infant through 5th grade.
-
We believe it’s important parents know their children will be in a safe and secure environment when they attend KidLIFE. All KidLIFE team members are screened and adhere to age-appropriate team member-to-child ratios. We also make sure each child is checked in with a security nametag to wear during the service. Parents are required to present a corresponding ID tag to pick up their child at the end of service.
-
We believe that when children really experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. For this reason, we use the Gospel Project for Kids curriculum for all ages. Your child will take a Christ-centered chronological journey through Scripture. They will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis to Revelation and understand that the Bible is not a collection of stories, but God’s unified story of redemption.
-
Babies will be nurtured as they are prayed over, loved on, and cared for during the service by dedicated team members who help give them a first impression of their Heavenly Father.
Toddlers and Preschoolers will hear an engaging Bible story and experience worship every Sunday. Preschoolers will meet with friends and a devoted leader who will guide them through activities and discussions to help them learn more about the God who loves them most.
Children in Kindergarten – 5th Grade will hear a Bible story told in an unforgettable way accompanied by engaging worship through song and dance in a large group setting. During their small group time, children will have the opportunity to make friends, ask questions, and discuss what they’ve learned. They will also participate in activities that reinforce the main application point of the week. Their dedicated leader will help them understand how the Bible applies to their life and learn how to grow in their relationship with God.
