Kidventure Children's Ministry

Helping kids know and follow Jesus one kid at a time!

We strive to help children meet Jesus through the Bible with fun programs and interactive activities! We have a dedicated team of background-checked adults who are passionate about helping kids know and follow Jesus. 

Sunday mornings are a time of teaching children through engaging lessons. We offer options each Sunday for babies through 5th grade. Kids will receive teaching from the Bible along with activities that reinforce that lesson, such as songs, crafts, and games. Our team is committed not only to supervising the kids but also to encouraging, teaching, and pouring into them how much God loves them.
