514 Kids

"You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden."  - Matthew 5:14

Welcome to 514 Kids!

 
Our mission is to help each child Meet, Follow, Serve,
and Love Jesus and others.

 


Meet—At 514 Kids, we want every child to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Follow—We strive for each child to grow in his/her individual walk with God, learning about God’s Word and His call on his/her life.
Serve—We seek to teach each child how to have a servant’s heart that is focused on pleasing God.
Love—We want each child to enter into a loving relationship with Jesus, and to share that love with the people in his/her life.

 
 
About 514 Kids Sunday School
 
Safety - Your child’s safety is our utmost concern. Our programming is structured to keep each child safe physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Each of our volunteers has completed an extensive screening and training process.

Programs - Parents can feel confident that their child is attended to by trained caregivers who are ready to love each child and teach the class about Jesus. Depending on his/her age and class, your child will sing uplifting praise songs, participate in an exciting time of learning about God and His Word, and create a unique craft to take home as a reminder about the lesson. Your child will build relationships with peers as well as the teachers and assistants.  We want our children to treasure God's Word and learn the value of hiding it in their hearts.  Below is our Scripture Memory Challenge for 2012-2013.  Children will have an opportunity to get a prize for reciting their memory verse on any Sunday.

FAQs

What if my child misbehaves?
We have a universal code of conduct for children ages 4 and up. If a child misbehaves in the classroom, the teacher will give the child a warning. If the child repeats the misbehavior, the teacher will place the child in an area of the classroom separate from the other children for three minutes. Once the child returns to the regular classroom setting, if he/she repeats the misbehavior a third time, the teacher will take the child to his/her parents in service.

How does 514 Kids deal with children with special needs?
We are aware that each Sunday God brings many different children into our classrooms. We want every child to meet, follow, serve, and love Jesus, including children with special needs. We will work alongside parents to develop a plan to meet the needs of each child.

What resources does 514 have for parents?
Our ministry is focused on partnering with parents and families to help our kids meet, follow, serve, and love Jesus. We have many different resources regarding parenting, family devotions, and how to reach the heart of your child.
