Welcome to Destination Kids!

Thank you for entrusting your precious child(ren) to us. Our dedicated Kids volunteers share Biblical truths and walk alongside you and your child(ren). With Christ as our center, our goal is to partner with parents as your child(ren) finds and follows Jesus!

Parents play a vital role in their child(ren)’s
faith journey. We support families by offering parenting resources, weekly handouts about what your child learned in Sunday School, and conversation starters. We encourage parents to connect with our Kids volunteers and staff, use the handouts each week, and even consider joining our Kids team as a volunteer!

Kids updates are shared through email, text, and/or social media. If you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

Our Gospel-centered approach points everything back to Jesus!
