SPRINGHILL KIDS
We believe children are the church today and parents, in partnership with the church, disciple children to know and love the Lord. Our vision is to equip children to be faithful in every field, as they participate in Gathering, Going, Gospel, and Growing in developmental appropriate levels.
Gathering
When kids are at church, our goal is that they feel safe, have fun, learn about Jesus and His truth, and experience being part of a local church body.
Going
We teach children to have a missional mindset – a heart of compassion and desire to share the gospel wherever they go. As a church, we provide evangelism opportunities and encourage parents to bring their children with them to disciple them in the field of going.
Gospel
The gospel, the story of Jesus, is shared in every Bible lesson, from the creation story to the promises in Revelation. Our hope is that their understanding of the gospel grows and through the power of the Holy Spirit their hearts are transformed as they choose to repent and believe.
Growing
Our programs and activities are designed around discipleship; to model and teach kids spiritual disciplines so that they learn the joy of abiding in Christ. Children learn how to read their Bible, memorize Scripture, pray, worship, give, share the gospel and their testimony.
Developing New Leaders
Our hope is for kids to become disciples of Christ, which means they will make disciples as they follow Jesus. We encourage kids to serve alongside their parents and discover unique ways they can use their gifts, time, and talents to serve God through the local church.
