Q: What does a children’s church service look like?

Children sing songs, watch videos and dramas, play games, hear stories and make friends in colorful rooms designed just for them.  The Bible comes alive as the topics that adults are taught each Sunday are communicated to kids in a fun and effective way!  Families then learn the same message and grow together.

Q: What will my child be taught?

Your child will be taught the same thing you will be taught (at an age-appropriate level). All of the Sunday services are designed around the same Big Idea, so that the adults, teenagers, and children are all hearing the same Bible story, the same lessons, and similar illustrations. This reinforces the focus for the church as a whole and empowers parents to lead their children in applying the Big Idea at home during the following week. All of our curriculum is based on Biblical truth and directed towards life application. Our early childhood and elementary classes have curriculum that we write here at KFA. The elementary curriculum is thought-provoking, engaging, and practices the lesson in action. Our nursery curriculum reflects our commitment to God’s life-changing truth.

Q: What else is there for my child at Journey Kids?

This is a picture of our ministry model.  We want children to move along this path by participating in the following purposes.

  • Passionate Worship - Weekend services.
  • Authentic Community - Wednesday night small groups.
  • Enthusiastic Service - Family Serve Team events.
  • Personal Growth - Faith at Home.
  • Offering Hope - Inviting friends to join them on the journey.

Q: How are volunteers screened?

Q: What is the difference between Sunday service and Wednesday service?

Wednesday services are small groups for kids! They offer the opportunity to build relationships and authentic community with kids their age and gender. There are hands-on and active settings with mentoring and relationship building as the keys.  Sunday services focus on experiencing God through song, giving, activities, drama, skits, and stories.
