The Kingdom Kids are committed to sharing Jesus' love with those who do not believe, encouraging each other, growing in our faith, serving God with our talents and honoring God with our lives. Our goal is to help children and youth develop in five fundamental areas as noted in our mission statement: evangelism, fellowship, discipleship, ministry and worship.
The KK provides biblical educational opportunities for children beginning at age 1 and walking. We provide age appropriate biblical teaching for all students. Each age group is exposed to the love of God displayed by caring volunteers who encourage and motivate students to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
