HIZ KIDS Kingdom

Sundays 9:30am

The purpose of HIZ KIDS KINGDOM is to use multi-dimensional teaching to give children the opportunity to learn and retain important faith stories and Biblical lessons by experiencing them. Our purpose is to disciple children and to teach them the Living Word of God.


HIZ KIDS Church

Sundays 11:00am

HIZ KIDS CHURCH helps to ready children for a lifetime of Worship and to teach them the components they will find in "big church." We learn all about what it is to Praise, the 4 "r's" of Communion and to participate in it, Offering (and where it goes), Prayer, The Lord's Prayer (why we say it and what it means), The Bible (where it came from & how to use it), and ways to apply what we have learned on Sunday to our lives so that we can use it on a daily basis. Finally, the children learn how to make good choices that will be pleasing to Jesus. Check out John 4:23


Faith Steps

This program is designed as a way to bring families and give parents/caregivers the tools and encouragement that they need in order to be the "faith teachers" of the children in their lives. Faith Steps is the partnering with parents to help them become the Spiritual leaders in their homes. Faith Steps are learning units that we believe children can accomplish and understand at specific ages. They are intended to help the child along in his or her faith development and also in understanding how to live as a Christian believer. Each step will involve the parents through a class, a project, or an experience. We want to help families become the foundations for teaching the faith. We want children to know there is a reason why we are learning about Bible stories. We also want children to grow strong bonds with the congregation as they grow up so they are already integrated into life of faith spiritual practices.

 

If we have already conducted the Faith Step for your child and they missed their step, the material is always available! Stop by Cheryl's office in Children's Ministries to pick up the packet.
