CHILDREN MINISTRIES
Faith Kids (our ministry to kids at Faith) exists to partner with parents in leading kids to a growing relationship with Jesus. We know that parenting is hard. And it's even harder on your own. That is why we want to help parents rely on the grace of God, find encouragement and wisdom from each other, and work together to apply the gospel to our parenting. We also want to provide opportunities throughout the year for you and your kids to invite their friends so that more and more families might meet Jesus and find community.
Colossians 2:6-7 “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”
