Children’s ministry at Kirk in the Hills is focused on fostering a loving, caring, and fun environment where children are introduced to Jesus through the Bible, through songs, through fun enrichment, and through relationships with others. We invite you and your children to join us to experience the transformative power of the gospel and Christ’s love for you.

Children are invited to worship at the Kirk during the 9:00 a.m. Service on Sunday mornings. Children participate in the first part of worship in the sanctuary. Following the word with children, preschool children through grade 8 youth are dismissed for fun, fellowship and age-appropriate classes. During Sunday school, children first participate in large group worship songs and are then dismissed into their age-appropriate classrooms for more targeted lessons. Children are grouped by these groups: Preschool Class, Kindergarten/1st Grade Class, 2/3rd Grade Class, 4/5th Grade Class, 6th-8th Grade Class.

Children’s Communion and Offering Sundays
The first Sunday of each month, children participate in a special children’s communion and children’s offering during the 9:00 a.m. worship and Sunday school time in the Abbey Lounge. Children are encouraged to bring spare change or chore money for the children’s offering which will go towards supporting clean water initiatives around the world with our VBS partner, Living Waters for the World.

Kirk in the Hills Preschool
Rooted and Grounded in God’s Love for over 30 years
We believe that a child’s preschool experience is crucial in that this is where they develop their first feelings about themselves in relation to school, learning, and their peers. Children thrive in loving, nurturing environments where they feel safe and free to explore their world through hands-on activities that encourage growth in all areas of development: social/emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical.
