Kids Ministry

“Faith Kids” is the name for church school at Faith Lutheran! It is a Sunday morning opportunity at 9:15 and 10:45am that is exceptional in relationship, experience and application. Faith Kids has a format of large and small group opportunities, dramatic lesson presentations, kids worship experiences, and active FUN learning/application. It is fun and exciting, and the content is accentuated by meaningful relationships between leaders and kids.

We want “Faith Kids” to be THE BEST HOUR OF THE WEEK FOR OUR KIDS!!! Registrations are accepted at anytime. There is always a place for you at FAITH KIDS! Register Now!

In Kids Ministry we value the whole family, too! We want to encourage families to bond together in fellowship, growth, service and FUN! And so, we are introducing a monthly opportunity for families called:

“Bright Lights on Thursday Nights”

It’s fun, it’s purposeful, it’s a night you won’t want to miss! Once a month, kids and their parents in grades K – 5th grade enjoy, experience and express their faith through activities that bring us together, encourage us to grow, provide opportunity to serve and allow us to celebrate our God! Some month’s activities have included:

• Bowling and food frenzy
• Swim and Splash party – and BRING A FRIEND NIGHT!
• Game Night at Walker Plaza!

And activities to come:

• March 27: Rollerskating and BRING A FRIEND NIGHT!
  Lace up those skates or bring your own rollerblades, it’s a night of FUN on wheels! Be purposeful and BRING ALONG A FRIEND! You AND your friend will receive a PRIZE!!
