Kids Ministry
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.
