Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Ages: Birth - 5th Grade
Helping kids to love like Jesus

We want kids to love coming to church and leave knowing more about Jesus.

Local Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade in safe, age appropriate environments where they learn the Bible, build friendships, ask questions, and discover what it means to love like Jesus.

Every Local Kids volunteer completes an interview, background check, and training before serving with children.

Babies and Toddlers

Our youngest kids receive a safe, caring place to play and be loved while their parents participate in the Sunday gathering. Even at this age, we begin introducing simple truths about God’s love.

PreK

Preschoolers learn that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend. Through Bible stories, worship, activities, and repetition, they begin building a foundation for faith.

Elementary

Elementary students dig into Scripture in ways they can understand. Each week includes a clear biblical truth, a Bible passage, conversation, activities, and small group time that helps kids connect what they learn at church with everyday life.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

Everything we do in Local Kids is built around four things that matter to us.

Create a safe environment.

We care about the physical, emotional, and spiritual safety of every child entrusted to us. That means trained leaders, background checks, secure check in and pickup, appropriate supervision, and spaces where kids are treated with care and respect.

Be a space for exploration and growth.

Kids are naturally curious. They ask questions. They notice everything. At Local Kids, we create a fun and engaging environment where children are introduced to a loving God who wants a real relationship with them. Through videos, interactive conversations, hands-on object lessons, and meaningful activities, kids learn who God is and how much He loves them — in ways they can understand and connect with personally.
 

Strengthen the family.

Parents matter more than we do. We only get a small part of a child’s week, so we want to partner with parents instead of trying to replace them. We provide information and resources that help families continue conversations about faith at home.

Love like Him

We want kids to know Jesus and become more like Him. That means learning to love God, love people, serve others, forgive, be generous, and live out what they are learning.
