Foursquare Kids
Here at Foursquare Kids, we hope that every child enters just as they are, but never leaves the same! When you entrust us with your children, we promise to love them as they are, see them for all they can be, and lead them toward close discipleship with Jesus.
It is our heart to see your children come to know Jesus with honest love, serve Him with passion, and tell others about Him with boldness. We cannot wait to see how they will grow here.
Let’s Grow in Him Together.
Our Mission
Our heart for our Foursquare Kids (ages 0-11 years) is no different than our heart for our adults! We love to see them:
- Connect: Becoming friends with God; Jesus’ love for them is great!
- Grow: Opening their hearts to others; Jesus loved us first!
- Serve: Blessing others with their gifts! Jesus first blessed us!
- Go: Sharing His word boldly! Jesus is mighty to save!
We offer Foursquare Kid’s Worship Services at both of our 8:30am and 10:30am services on Sunday mornings. With songs that kids love, we take them on a journey through the Bible in a way they can understand and engage with. Our services are designed to teach kids more about Jesus through interactive storytelling, song, scripture, and crafts. With our secure Kid’s Check-In, we love to be able to offer a safe environment for your children while they worship and learn about Jesus.
Current Series: March
“Walking with Jesus”
“Come to me.” These words from Jesus have a gentle invitation in them. They are not burdensome. In fact, just the opposite. Jesus offers rest for those who come to Him, listen to His words, and walk with Him.
In the Walking with Jesus series, kids will explore four gospel accounts of Jesus working in the lives of those who came to Him because He offered what nothing else in this world can—forgiveness, healing, and compassion.
We can come to Him. In a world that’s filled with distractions and disruptions, we can come to Jesus and simply walk with Him in relationship and be forever changed. Together, let’s discover that walking with Jesus isn’t following a specific set of rules or to-do lists; it is surrendering ourselves as we sit at His feet and worship our King.

Sierra Cramer
K-5th Grade Director
Sierra is a young and enthusiastic leader with a heart for children of all ages. Her heart to serve others and cultivate biblical community are some of her most notable attributes for the kingdom. From babies to seniors in high school, she understands that every child deserves intentional connection, meaningful relationships, and the love of Jesus.
Sierra is the girl behind the camera for our social platforms, as well as a dedicated leader within numerous ministries of the church. She is an alumni of Indiana University of Pennsylvania graduating with a BA in Dance and a Minor in Business Administration. Sierra is a creative at heart, as a dancer for over 20 years, it is her heart to see creativity and faith collide in and out of the classroom. She is a Starbucks lover who loves to hunt, fish, and build relationships.
Her greatest aspiration for the children is to feel seen by our leaders, be encouraged through God’s Word, and leave empowered to practice and spread the Gospel to those around them.
Rachel Messick
As a former special education teacher and now a mother of three, Rachel understands that all people are made uniquely by God. Not one the same, but equally valued and purchased with the blood of Jesus Christ. At a very young age, God gave her a heart for those with special needs. He directed her path towards special education. The realization of God’s plan for her life came full circle when she had a child of her own with differing abilities. Now she uses her gifts to make God’s Word, available to all, in a way they can understand it and receive it.
