because every child matters to god.
Our goal is for every child to believe three things:
God loves me, God made me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
The Village Kids & Village Kids Jr. Preschool Ministry partners with parents to help kids know God and His love for them, grow in faith and love Christ, and show God’s love to others. Our programs meet kids right where they are and help them to discover God and His Word on their own level. We know that kids are not just the church of tomorrow: they are the church of today!
