About Shepherd’s Kids
Our Shepherd’s Kids ministry exists to partner with parents in the intentional disciple-making efforts of their children where we teach kids to know God, think biblically, and live wisely. We do that through providing a wide variety of fun and purposeful Bible-based ministries for kids and helpful resources for parents.
Sunday Morning
Birth-PreK—The Meadow
9:30 & 11:00 am
From our Nursery—that provides a safe, loving environment for our tiniest little ones—to our Preschool—which engages toddlers to Pre-K with the Bible in fun and creative ways—we’re passionate about helping your child know and love Jesus.
K-Grade 2—Base Camp
9:30 & 11:00 am
As children progress into early elementary, their spiritual journey leads them to Base Camp, where they’ll learn important foundational truths of God’s Word and how to think biblically—all in a fun, engaging environment that features kid-friendly worship, creative crafts, and more!

Grades 3-5—The Pinnacle
9:30 & 11:00 am
For our older elementary kids in Grades 3-5, their journey culminates at The Pinnacle, where they get to attend “The Lodge” — a mountain-themed setting that engages kids with fun skits, worship, and dynamic teaching that focuses on character development as they near middle school.
Sunday Night
AWANA (September–May)
Awana is an exciting program designed to equip children to know and love God more by studying and memorizing His Word. With incentive-based Scripture memory programs, age-appropriate teaching times, and high-energy group games, Awana is a high point in the week for the kids who attend each week.
Our club offers programs for children who are 2 years old through 12th grade, and meets on Sunday nights during the school year (September-May) from 5:00–6:30 pm.
