Faith that grows with them
Greater Life Kids
A safe, joyful place where children discover God’s Word, build friendships, and learn that church can feel like home.
Faith begins with belonging
A child’s first picture of church should be love, truth, and belonging.
Greater Life Kids partners with parents to help children know that God made them, Jesus loves them, the Bible is true, and church can feel like home.
Children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and welcomed. From the nursery to Sunday School, Children’s Church, and AWANA, caring leaders create age-appropriate spaces where biblical truth comes alive through teaching, conversation, music, games, and friendship.
Parents remain an important part of every child’s spiritual foundation. Our goal is not to replace what happens at home, but to stand beside families as children grow into lifelong disciples of Jesus.
PSALM 127:3 · KJV
“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
A place for every child

Each gathering has its own rhythm, but the purpose remains the same: help children understand God’s Word, build healthy friendships, and experience the love of Christ through caring adults.

Kids Edition
This is their church too.
On the first Sunday of every month, Greater Life Kids helps lead the day. Children welcome families and help in the coffee shop, share what God has placed on their hearts through preaching, and lead the church in worship with the choir.
Kids Takeover gives children a real place to serve while trusted adults encourage and guide them. Families are invited to begin the morning together with breakfast at 8:45 AM, followed by Sunday School at 10:00 AM and Morning Worship at 11:00 AM.

THE FOUNDATION WE ARE BUILDING
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
PROVERBS 22:6 · KJV
A faith that can grow with them
Children do not have to be grown to begin knowing Jesus.
Let us stand beside your family as your child discovers God’s Word, builds friendships, and learns that they have a place in the family of God.
