Kids Week 2020

Summer is here! We are ready to help you make it a great one! Kids Week has been reimagined for this summer and will be coming to your homes virtually. This FREE program for kids K-5, is all about helping kids learn about God by focusing on four things: hearing, talking, praying, and living. We will provide you with a fun Kids Week Kit, filled with everything you’ll need for an amazing week of learning about what it means to FOCUS on God. This is an amazing opportunity to invite kids in the neighborhood to join you and your family in this virtual adventure week!

Registration is closed. But if you haven't registered yet, it's okay! You can still follow along with our videos next week using your own supplies. More info to come soon!
