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.
