equipping kids to KNOW Jesus, GROW to be like Him, and GO share their faith with others
Welcome to GP Kids & Littles!
Children have an intrinsic value simply because they were created by God. Therefore, we believe it is never too early to teach them of God’s love and grace. In fact, it’s our responsibility. Each individual is cared for and valued - This includes babies, preschoolers, elementary kids, their parents and ministry teams. Our prioity is to equip kids to KNOW Jesus, GROW to be like Him through age appropriate curriculum, so that they can GO share their faith with others.
GROW POINTS: “I will grow if I….”
Spend time with God
Spend time with others
Use my gifts to love God
Share my faith story with others
GP Kids Elementary serves children K-5th grade. We strive to make each kid feel welcomed by providing a safe environment where the music is jamming, the Bible is never boring, the games are fun and the leader always cares!
GP Littles serves infants up to 4 years of age. They are valued by speaking their names gently and responding to their cries patiently, reading God's Word to them, singing songs about their Savior, and praying for them.

Sundays @ GP Kids & Littles Offerings Small Group Hour 9-10AM: Nursery & Small Groups for all ages Main Worship Service 10:30AM: Children are welcome to remain in the service with their parents. Alternatively, every Sunday nursery care is available. PreK-5 grade children stay with their families during the first half of the service, and then are dismissed to children’s church, if desired. Elementary aged children (K-5) remain with their families for the entire service the first Sunday of the month, and go to children’s church the remaining weeks. All of this is communicated each Sunday.

Safeguards Each GP Kids & Littles team member is carefully trained and background-checked prior to serving. In addition, we follow the “2 With You” rule, which means that at least two trained adult leaders shall be with any child(ren) in our environments at all times.

Partnering with Parents & Families
We believe that the two most powerful influences in a child’s life are the church and the home. When these two influences are combined it makes for a greater impact on a child's future. GP Kids ministry is committed to providing support to families that will help them GROW in spiritual formation.
