Learning About God Has Never Been More Fun!
HopeKids (Hope’s version of Sunday School) is our high-energy, weekend program for potty-trained children age 3 (by Sept. 15) through grade 5. At HopeKids, children will experience dynamic teachings and upbeat worship songs during opening, with relevant breakout activities in between. This rotational style format is a great way to engage kids in learning about God’s love! New kids are always welcome!
Saturdays, 5:00 pm
Sundays, 9:15 & 11:00 am
HopeKids Wednesdays
HopeKids Wednesdays is our high-energy, midweek program during the school year for children in grades K-5. Children participate in fun, relational small groups followed by dynamic, intentional large group time. It’s a great addition to what kids are learning on the weekends at HopeKids!
