Harvest Kids Mission Statement
To teach the principles behind God’s precepts to children in such a way that they will understand His Love. By understanding His love they would love Him, and choose to follow Him. We aspire to do this by sowing Truth, Love and Relationships.
Curriculum
The Gospel Project: The Gospel Project takes kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Kids will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. When kids truly experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. It is the gospel, not good behavior, that changes everything. Watch this video to catch the vision of The Gospel Project: https://youtu.be/urwZP2WGdHc. Lessons, videos, games, and more can be downloaded by visiting your app store and searching for the LifeWay Kids Kiosk App. There are content options within the app.
Sunday Mornings
Birth to Kindergarten students engage in full Sunday school programming.
1st-6th grade will be in the worship service with their parents for the time being.
Coming in February!
1st-6th grade students will be checked into the system prior to service start, worship alongside parents, and be released to a teacher during announcements for age appropriate teaching.
Safety
