Our Mission and Values

Mission Statement: We exist to partner with families to help children develop a growing relationship with Jesus Christ in preparation for their mission in the world.

Values:
Child Centered: We do things Kids’ Way! We aim to be developmentally appropriate in all that we do in each age group. We make every decision with kids in mind so that we might reach, teach, and love each child.

Safe: Kid’s Way offers an environment that is physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe for children so that they are free to learn and grow without reservation. Physical safety is assured through our application and background check process for all staff and volunteers, our child registration process, and check-in/check-out procedures. We keep kids emotionally safe by surrounding them with adult leaders who are positive, welcoming, and sincere. Kids’ Way kids are nurtured through kind words and actions by all of our volunteers. Spiritual safety means that each child will be allowed to move along in their spiritual journey one step at a time at their own pace. A child in Kids’ Way will never be forced into making decisions they are not ready to make.

Have Fun: Kids learn best when having FUN! We want kids to come back week after week because they enjoyed their visit and can’t wait to return. Making Kid’s Way fun allows us to be able to nurture and teach them spiritually.

Relevant to kids: The Bible lessons we teach are designed to be relevant and appropriate for kids and families today. We want kids to understand that God’s Word is relevant for them and can be applied in practical ways in their everyday lives.

Relationship-Based: Kid’s Way is a place where kids can feel they belong. It’s a place where kids can connect with other kids as well as adult volunteers. Our adult volunteers care for, encourage, guide, listen to, and love kids through their actions as well as their words.

Creative Bible Teaching: In Kid’s Way we value each child’s unique learning style, personality, and talents. Therefore, we will use a variety of teaching styles to reach our variety of kids. The Bible is the same yesterday, today and forever. However, we change our teaching methods to increase our effectiveness as communicators and teachers of God’s Word. We want kids to be so excited by what they learn that they can’t wait to hear more.
