Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
the fruit of the womb a reward.
Psalm 127:3
Who We Are
Vertical Kids is passionate about providing a welcoming environment for children to learn about God, how to study His word, and how to grow in a relationship with Him. Our team is composed of volunteers with a heart for kids and a love for God's Word. We focus on discipling children starting at 6 weeks old to 5th grade through age appropriate lessons, activities, and worship.
What to Expect
We hope you and your kids join us this Sunday! (Check in begins 15 minutes before each service)
The mission of Vertical Kids is to partner with the parents in equipping children to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and follow His commandments. With this in mind, we strive to give children the chance to consistently hear the gospel and understand God's offer of salvation and help them discover the Truth of God's word through teaching, discussion, and hands-on activities.
We seek to partner with and empower parents and care-givers to disciple their children in the Truth through building a culture of discipleship and pointing to that Truth in our weekly Vertical Kids ministry every Sunday.
