S0 . . . Here's The Thing
Every week kids are discovering who Jesus is-through stories, games, laughter, and love.
It's beautiful. It's a little chaotic and it matters more than we realize.
Kids ministry isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up, loving kids well, and helping shape faith in the
next generation.
This is real Kingdom work. Right here, right now, and honestly . . .
We'd love to do it with you!
