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.

Classes are offered Sundays at 9:30 am & 11:00 am for ages 2 months through 5th grade

    KidVenture and Elevate students are invited to join us for our annual "Mix Retreat" -- a weekend retreat for kids in 4th-8th grade. The Mix Retreat is a chance for preteen and middle school students to dig into the Bible together, build stronger relationships with other students and leaders, and have FUN! This year, our theme is "RENEW" based on Mark 12:30.


    The Mix Retreat will be taking place at Grove Christian Camp in Dorena, OR. We will leave from Countryside late afternoon on Friday and return to Countryside before second service ends on Sunday.
