Kids Ministry

Plant Seeds of the Gospel. Partner with Family. Play!

SUNDAYS

Green Kids Ministry (GKM) strives to raise up the next generation for Christ, showing them how to live for God and how to follow Jesus with their whole hearts. We’re excited to offer safe, fun, interactive environments for kids from birth through 5th grade where this hope becomes a reality.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Beyond Sundays

Community is important at every age! We are proud to host preschool playgroups on Thursday mornings for moms, grandmas, and female caregivers of young children, and we love our Fun Fridays on Friday nights for pre-teen kids in 4th and 5th grade. Reach out to learn more about how we are intentionally building community for preschoolers, pre-teens, and their families!

Faith Milestones

We celebrate with families when we get to be a part of your child’s special moments! From dedicating your young child to God to helping your pre-teen follow Jesus’ instruction to be baptized, we’re here for all the milestones on the path toward following Jesus.

LifeWise Academy

Lifewise Academy is a Released Time Religious Instruction program which exists to reach students in public schools with the gospel. Under "little-known" Released Time laws, students can be released from public school during the school day to attend religious classes, provided the program is off school property, privately funded, and parent permitted. We're excited to begin the process of partnering with Green Local Schools to host LifeWise Academy here in our building!

Midweek

Midweek is an intentional time for GKM full of Scripture, Biblical application, and fun! We host Midweek on Wednesday nights throughout the school year. The first semester includes Sept. 11 - Nov. 20. The second semester includes Jan. 15 - April 9. From newborns, all the way up to 5th grade, we have something for your children to participate in!

Nursery

The Nursery will be open for babies to have a safe and happy environment. Our leaders take special care to pray over babies and help them learn that Jesus loves them.

Preschool

The Preschool Hallway will host Midweek to help your preschooler learn the building blocks of faith all while playing and growing in the Word.

K-5th Graders

K-5th graders will have Team KID which stands for Kids In Discipleship. Our hope with Team KID is that your children grow closer to Jesus through practical applications, form friendships with their peers, be poured into by leaders, and have lots of fun through games and silliness. Pick-up and drop-off will be in the hallway next to room 200.
