Children

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

At Living Hope, our great desire is for our children to Gather, Grow, Give & Go!

Gather: It’s so important to encourage each other & gather together to worship Jesus!
Grow: Our team loves coming alongside kids, parents and families to assist, encourage and
 help them grow spiritually in a personal relationship with Jesus.
Give: Teaching kids how to give of their “FIST" (finances, influence, skills, time) - all for the Kingdom of God.
Go: God calls us to serve Him and go tell others the good news of Jesus!

Nursery Ministry

• Sundays 10:30 am - Worship  Gathering (3 & under)
• Wednesdays 6:15 pm - 8:00 pm (4 & under)

Gospel Project (September-May)

The Gospel Project exists to point kids to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Children discover how God’s plan of redemption unfolds throughout Scripture and still today, compelling them to join the mission of God.

• Sundays 9:00 am - Discipleship Hour

KidsWay Worship

KidsWay is a special time for our young children as they engage in learning more about Jesus, stories from the Bible, crafts, activities, music & praise!  

• Sunday Mornings (except 1st Sunday of month)
• For ages 4 yrs through Kindergarten
• Dismissed during the Worship Gathering
• Available all year long

WEDNESDAY NIGHTs

• Wednesdays 6:00 pm -7:30 pm (September through May)
• Kindergarten through 6th grade

KidzLife incorporates Bible memorization, journaling, mission moments and strongly encourages discipleship at home.  This night includes small group discussion, large group worship, teaching and game time.  Kids learn more about who they are in Christ and how to go deeper in their walk with Jesus and in relationships with others.

“Kingdom Cash” is earned weekly as “rewards” … but they learn to ‘give it all away’ to help our local and global workers spread the gospel and serve our community well.  

Other Great Opportunities

Parent Child Dedication

• Classes and dedication Sundays offered throughout the year.

We know that the very first and best place children learn about the love of Jesus is at home.  It’s our joy to come alongside the family to encourage, provide resources and help you be great parents as you lead your children to the knowledge of Christ.  

Information Classes are offered the week before a Dedication Sunday to get to know the family, their child(ren) and answer questions.
