Whether you’re new here or have been around for a while let me welcome you to the children’s ministry of Fox Creek Christian Church! Though the term “Children’s Ministry” is relatively new in the church’s vocabulary, the concept is not. Jesus made it very clear just how important children were to Him and to the Kingdom of God (Matthew 19:14). Because Jesus, himself, placed so much value on children, we feel they are pretty important too.
George Barna, one of the world’s leading statisticians said in his book, Transforming Children into Spiritual Champions-Why Children Should Be Your Church’s #1 Priority, “Moral foundations of children are generally determined by the time the individual reaches age nine. Our research confirms a parallel outcome in the spiritual dimension: By age nine, most children have their spiritual moorings in place.” More than ½ of those who will accept Christ do so by the age of 12.
With these things in mind, it is vital for us as individual families and as a church to work together to provide our children with the best foundation upon which to build their lives. This is one investment that is definitely worth the returns!

What can my child expect during a typical Kids Creek service?
Though you can always expect the unexpected at Kids Creek, there are a few elements that you will see each time you visit. We want Kids Creek to be the best part of your child's week. We strive to make that happen by personally connecting with your child - but more importantly helping your child connect with their Creator and the King of the Universe. If we can do those two things, then we consider our time together a success!
Worship
Each time we come together, we respond to God's amazing love through a time of worship. Through a variety of high-energy, Christ-centered music with motions and softer, more reflective times of praise, we strive to create an atmosphere in which your child can experience God on corporate and personal levels. Every Sunday morning, we also offer communion to immersed followers of Christ as an act of worship and remembrance.
Bible Instruction
At Kids Creek, we know that the Bible is anything but boring! We attempt to bring God's Word to life for kids using drama, multimedia elements, games, hands-on experiences, and in-depth examination of the most life-changing Book ever written. The message is presented in a kid-friendly way in an effort to cultivate life-long followers of Christ.
Small Groups
In a large-group setting, it can be difficult to personally connect with each child and to provide the individualized attention they need. That is why at Kids Creek, we follow-up each whole-group lesson with time in small groups. Not only does it allow children to develop friendships with their peers and small group leaders, but also provides a time to reinforce the main ideas from the lesson in smaller, age-leveled groups. This is where kids learn to practically apply what they are being taught.

THIS MONTH IN KIDS CREEK
One of the most enduring and powerful metaphors in the Bible is that of the rock. Rocks symbolize strength, stability, and an unshakeable foundation. This month in Kids Creek, we will explore some of the most foundational and enduring truths from the Bible that are as steadfast as a rock. These lessons are designed to help children build their faith on a firm foundation, enabling them to stand strong in their beliefs no matter what challenges they face. Throughout this series, we will journey through stories and teachings from the Bible that illustrate these ROCK SOLID truths. We will learn from the stories of Peter and Cornelius, Abraham and Isaac, Jesus in the wilderness, David in the cave, and more. Your children will learn about the importance of trust, obedience, and steadfastness in their walk with God. They need to be grounded in the unchanging truths of God’s Word. We hope this series will strengthen their faith and equip them to face life’s challenges with confidence and courage, knowing they are anchored in the ROCK SOLID truths of the Bible.
