About The Road Kids
On Sundays, Nursery through 5th Grade classes are available at the 9:40 & 11:15 AM services. The nursing mother’s room is available at all services, including the 8:15 AM service.
The Road Kids provides ministry for children from birth through fifth grade. Our aim is to lead kids on the road less traveled and raise up the next generation of Jesus’ disciples. In a sea of lies and false narratives, we are called to raise up children who are grounded in the truth of God’s word and walk in the boldness of the Holy Spirit.
Children who participate in The Road Kids will be part of a loving, nurturing, and age-appropriate environment while attending our ministries. Our teaching endeavors to be a cooperative effort between the church and the home to effectively reach the children of our community with the message of the Gospel. We believe that this can be accomplished through relational, loving, and exemplary servant-leadership, Bible teaching that meets children at both their psychological and spiritual maturity levels as well as providing fun and engaging activities centered around God’s Word.
We invite you to partner with us to make a difference in our community through discipling those who are dearest to the heart of God.
