We believe that parents are the first and most effective communicators of the gospel to their children. As a result, we want to come alongside and partner with parents by equipping them with helpful resources, classes, seminars, and conferences.
If you are new to Redeemer Kids we want to welcome you! Check out this welcome packet for more information about our ministry and some helpful tips for when Sunday morning drop-off is hard.
We are committed to creating a safe, fun place for children in our Sunday morning classes where we sing, dance, play, teach the Bible, communicate the gospel, and memorize the word of God. If you are planning your first visit, you can check in ahead of time!
The Redeemer Kids Ministry desires to partner with parents in the discipleship of their children. One of the ways we do this is by pointing parents to quality resources to strengthen their parenting and family worship and equip them to rightly handle challenging cultural topics. These resources are updated regularly and available for purchase at a discounted price in the Kids area.
TBRI®️ (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) is designed to meet the complex needs of children and adults who have experienced adversity, early harm, toxic stress, and/or trauma. TBRI®️ offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, teachers, or anyone who works with children, to see the “whole child” in their care and help that child reach his highest potential. This training will take place in ES3 from 9am-4pm with an hour break for lunch.
