Kids Connection is dedicated to partnering with parents in order to raise kids who love God, love themselves and love others. By connecting with God and others, we encourage children to begin their walks with the Lord.
Weekend services are designed to usher children into a personal and corporate encounter with God. Midweek small groups create a process of growth that continually measures children’s abilities to connect and worship, while also teaching them what it means to serve. Our commitment is to equip kids to live out their faith through a life of service.
If you are planning to visit us for the first time, you can download the Kids Connection visitor information form and bring it with you. Please complete one form per child.
