HarvestKids is a Graded Ministry Program
We utilize many strategies and resources to best teach kids on their age level. Activities, music, crafts, and curriculum are specifically geared to make your child's experience fun and beneficial. Our primary teaching tool is the Gospel Project curriculum from Lifeway. We love these materials for many reasons, but mostly because they keep Jesus central to every single Bible story. We do utilize additional resources to enhance relational and spiritual elements for our kids. A priority at HarvestKids is discipling children, so even from an early age we are teaching your kids to positively influence other children.

ENVIRONMENTS
Our leadership team at HarvestKids works tirelessly to create environments kids thrive in. We believe it's a sin to make the Bible boring. Your child will never be asked to sit quietly for an hour with their hands folded in their lap. Each week we try to engage kids through all 5 senses. We want the fastest, funnest hour of the week to also be the most meaningful. We don't compromise or water down God's truth. And we seek to engage parent and child through "take home tools" so that they can quickly and effectively practice the truth we just learned.

SALVATION
Knowing Jesus
HarvestKids is passionate about all of our children having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We talk about the importance of being a follower of Jesus in our meetings and we teach kids what is involved in Biblical salvation. We also provide resources for parents that show them how they can lead their child to Christ.
BAPTISM
Sharing Jesus
The first step of obedience as a new follower of Jesus is to identify with Him through water baptism. This event should begin a life long habit of boldly sharing our faith with others. We have prepared a detailed guide for parents that walks them and their child through the baptism process here at Harvest.
SERVING
Serving Jesus
Discipleship is central to our calling as a church body. We are to be followers of Jesus that are growing in our faith. And we are also called to assist others in their pursuit of Jesus. This plays out in our ministry by creating various ministry teams for the children to grow and exercise their spiritual gifts.
LIFE HAPPENS IN GROUPS
At HarvestKids we seek to provide environments where everyone belongs. Belonging is foundational in achieving God's perfect plan for our lives. We know that God grows us spiritually by exercising His Truth, and allowing that Truth to affect all of our relationships. We create different groups to grow kids in different areas of their lives. Your child's spiritual growth is very important to us.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR FIRST VISIT TO HARVESTKIDS
OUR SUMMER THEME IS SURF'S UP!
When you first arrive on our Harvest campus, you’ll notice many friendly faces ready to show you the way. Our guest services team will help you to the HarvestKids check-in where a kids team member will guide you through getting your children safely to their class.
We want to serve you and your child well, so we’ll take some time to get to know you. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information. Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. This sticker is also what you’ll use to pick-up your child after gathering. If for any reason we need to reach you during the gathering, we’ll get in touch via text message.
Because we value your child’s safety, every kids team member has been interviewed, trained and undergone a background check.

Sunday Mornings this Summer
HarvestKids will have your children surfing into the summer with our incredibly fun "Surf's Up" Surf Club. Sunday Mornings throughout the summer we will be discovering God's Truth through puppets, skits, games, songs, videos, a cool weekly guest from Australia, "GG the surfing girl", and so much more. We're taking a deep dive into the Beatitudes (found in Matthew 5). This was Jesus very first public message and he taught the people that great blessing would come to those who demonstrated their spiritual growth in their relational interactions with one another. Your kids will see Jesus that never taught to just provide information. His goal, and ours, its transformation! We invite your kids to join us every Sunday at 9am in the Zoom Room! (Parents are always welcomed as well).
