"We Love Because He First Loved Us"
1 John 4:19
Make Sunday the Best Day
We want to see kids and parents make Jesus a priority in their families.
Our Children’s Ministry team values collaboration, unity, and trust. We are motivated by the Gospel and will maximize experiences by focusing on families, safety and elevating creativity in our Sunday worship and our Ministry events. We want to make Sunday the BEST day of the week! Your kids will get to join the fun and experience a world of meeting Jesus on their level in the The Clubhouse (Preschool Large Group) or in The Foundry (Elementary Large Group).
Hillside Kids welcomes children from infants through 5th grade. Each child will check in at one of our Welcome Desk stations on our Check Point Security System. They will then go to their classroom to begin their lesson and Worship. After the service, be sure to ask your child what they learned in their small group in The Clubhouse or The Foundry.
Our Wednesday night program called, EQUIP offers a dynamic environment for Elementary aged students by combining engaging games, creative storytelling, and interactive small group discussion to foster a deeper understanding of the Bible. By focusing on age-appropriate, in-depth studies, kids will not only have fun but also build a firm foundation for their faith and enhance their spiritual journey, encouraging them to group together as a community.
