Children’s Ministry
Our purpose is to join God as he calls all children to Him through Jesus.
Our mission is to partner with families, and the faith community, in leading children to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ.
Events
Our monthly events provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn about important values, build strong relationships with their peers and mentors, and grow in their faith. By engaging in fun and meaningful activities, children can discover their unique gifts and talents and develop a sense of purpose and belonging that will serve them well throughout their lives.
Whether it's through fun, games, storytelling, or other activities, children's ministry events are an essential part of creating a bright future for our young people.

Bible Classes
We provide Bible classes for babies through 5th grade on Sunday mornings at 10:30am and Wednesday nights at 6:30pm.
We utilize creative storytelling, games, crafts, and activities to teach the story of God, how we fit into it, and how we live it out. We teach using a large group and small group model.
Nursery
We provide loving care during our 9am morning worship service on Sunday for birth through 2 years old.
Children’s Worship
Children’s Worship is for ages 3 – 2nd grade during Sunday Morning Worship. They meet in Kingwood Station following communion. The children are taught various bible verses, stories, and songs in an interactive setting, including puppets!
Child Check-in Center
We value our children’s security here at Kingwood. All adult volunteers have been background checked before working with any kids. We ask that all children from birth to 5th grade be checked in upon arrival. They will receive a sticker that includes their name, their parent’s name/phone number, which class they are attending, and any medical info such as an allergy. This is to help us keep attendance and have teachers contact parents if an emergency arises.
A separate security sticker will also be printed with the child’s name sticker. These will have a corresponding code that matches each child’s name tag (one security label per family household). A parent must show the security label to pick up their child.
All children are strongly encouraged to check in for nursery, children’s worship, and Bible class upon arrival, even if the worship service has already started (you can check in for Bible class at the same time as for the nursery/children’s worship).
If anyone needs to check in to the nursery during the sermon, the security team will assist them.
