Children
The mission of
Children’s Ministries at Church of the Saviour is to give
children everywhere every opportunity to meet Jesus, to nurture
their personal relationship with him, to help them build
Christian relationships with other children and adults, and to
give them opportunities to practice their Christian faith by
serving others.
Friday Night Fun at Kids' Club
Kristi Bergren and Renee Leonard, Coordinators
Children in grades 3-5 meet monthly (sometimes at church,
sometimes offsite) to play games, watch a movie, or for outings
to go bowling, skating, and other fun stuff. Kids’ Club also
participates in several service projects each year at church and
in the community. At Kids' Club, elementary children learn that
church is a fun place to be, and they form friendships that we
hope will last into youth group and beyond.
