KIDS

ABOUT

Highland Kids is a fun and engaging ministry for children in Kindergarten–5th Grade. Our mission is to help kids explore God’s Word so they can see who He is and discover His plan and purpose for their lives.

On Sunday mornings in Kids Connection and Wednesday nights at Kids Foundation, kids experience creative lessons, meaningful discipleship, and caring relationships. We partner with parents to teach the truth of Scripture and point every child to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Throughout the year, children also have opportunities to grow in faith and community through camps, special events, and weekly programs. Our desire is for every child to build lasting friendships with peers, encouraging leaders, and most importantly, with Jesus.

WEEKLY EVENTS

We encourage families to worship together during one of our Gatherings in the Life Center. While you attend an Adult Bible Fellowship (ABF), your children can join us for Kids Connection—a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate Bible learning time!
When: Sundays at 8:40am, 10:00am, and 5:15pm (coming soon!)

What We're Learning
We use The Gospel Project curriculum, which shows how the good news of Jesus Christ is woven through every story in the Bible. This chronological journey walks children through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, helping them see God's big story and their place in it.
At every level, kids learn through engaging activities like games, object lessons, illustrations, and Scripture memory.
At Kids Foundation, we help children grow in God's Truth, equipping them to live as devoted followers of Jesus and confidently defend their faith. We partner with families to build a strong foundation through Scripture, worship, and discipleship.
When: Wednesdays from 6:30–8:00pm (Fall Semester: September–November; Spring Semester: January–April)
Who: Children ages 3 through 5th grade (Semester registration is required)
Cost: $10 materials fee per child (Scholarships are available!)

SPECIAL EVENTS

First Grade Bible

At Highland, nothing is more important than instilling God's Word in the hearts of our children. As part of our tradition, we present each child with their own Bible when they enter 1st grade.

Date: September 13, 2026
Gatherings: 8:40am, 10:00am, or 4:00pm

Bibles will be presented by Pastor John Durham and Kids Minister Emily Eagle. Parents will be invited to pray over their child during this time.

Please register for the Gathering time that works best for your family. If you would like your child to be a part of this year's First Grade Bible Presentation, register here!
