KidStuf Live is where kids and parents learn together about God’s Values! It is a monthly, 45-minute, fun, interactive, multi-media shared experience designed for families.
The KidStuf Take-Out is a creative application tool designed to assist and equip families as they apply God’s Values in their home, all month long.
It’s something that every parent wants their kid to learn. We would like to say that we came up with these values, but actually, they are God’s Virtues, such as self- control, honesty, patience, and gratitude . There is a different Value each month that is the over-riding theme in KidStuf and UpStreet. Every element of KidStuf and UpStreet is centered on the Value.
GodTime is a tool designed to help your child spend time with God each week.
KidStuf exists to partner with parents. We believe that parents are ultimately responsible for the spiritual development of their children (Deuteronomy 6:4-9). We also recognize that parents have a whole lot more time with their kids than anyone at church. In fact, each year kids spend about 3,000 hours with their parents versus the 40 or so that they will spend attending church on Sunday. As a result, no one has more influence over a child than his or her parent. Because of this, we believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. We believe that it is our role to partner with parents by providing a plan that will give them the tools they need to lead their kids spiritually. This plan is launched at KidStuf on the first Sunday of the month. During the rest of the month it continues with UpStreet.
Kids AND their parents should come together after UpStreet and main service.
These two environments are synched together to provide the best experience possible for your family! The same kids that go to KidStuf also attend UpStreet. In both of these environments, they are learning about the same Value. KidStuf is a monthly, shared experience for families that launches the Value for the month.
UpStreet happens every Sunday during the main service. It is where kids meet in small groups with other kids their age and connect with an adult small group leader. Each week they are taught a different Bottom Line and Bible story that focuses on a different aspect of the Value.
KidStuf happens immediately following the 10:00 service on the first Sunday of every month! In order to have the best experience, it is important that children attend UpStreet before KidStuf!
KidStuf takes place in the KidStuf Theater located in the Kid’s Ministries Building.
Your child will be sitting with you wherever you choose to sit! We ask that families with older children sit on the floor at the front of the stage in the KidStuf Theater. We want to make sure we have enough seats for families with younger children!
Your preschooler is welcome to come to KidStuf Live with you!
JumpStart is a 30-minute presentation where parents and kids learn what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. JumpStart takes place on several Sunday afternoons throughout the year.
