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!
