Hillcrest Kids Ministry

Nursery – 6th Grade

Mission

We are followers of Jesus living one day at a time, discipling one child at a time.

Then He said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. (Luke 9:23 NIV)

Vision

We hope to partner alongside you as a parent in discipling your children.

As parents, you can breathe easy knowing your kids are safe and secure while having fun, meeting new friends, and discovering more about God’s Word. Our volunteers are all interviewed, and background checked before working with your kids on Sundays or Wednesdays. Throughout our Sunday small groups and children’s church, we implement GROW curriculum. This curriculum helps us give children an in-depth overview of the whole Bible as well as real-life application to carry out what they learn. On Wednesdays, we have our discipleship training class for kids! “Momentum” is about DAILY moving forward in our relationships with Jesus and teaching practical Christian living skills so that kids cannot only learn about the Gospel but also learn to practically apply it to their lives through prayer, personal Bible study or devotional time, or sharing the Gospel. We share the Gospel each Sunday and Wednesday, giving our kids a clear picture of Jesus’s extraordinary love and sacrifice for them as well as their need for Jesus. We use age-appropriate videos, music, crafts, and lessons to engage our kids as they learn about Jesus!
