Mission Kids
What is Mission Kids?
During the school year, children grades K-5 are welcome to attend our Mission Kids program every other Saturday from 11:00am - 1:00pm.
​
At each program, the children enjoy a fun Bible lesson, make crafts, sing songs, play games, and learn from exciting guest performers. They also receive a free lunch during the program. For some, this will be the only meal they eat for the day
​
Through Bible-based character lessons, we teach these young children how to deal with life's problems without turning to drugs, alcohol, or gangs. Our simple message: God loves you, you are valuable, and God has a wonderful plan for your life.
