Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14).Â
Child-Centered: We focus on the spiritual, social, physical, and mental needs of your child. Our desire is to help your child feel a warm sense of belonging in their class and to ensure each child feels welcomed and wanted.
Life-Changing: Â Our curriculum is experienced-based and gives every child the opportunity to discover what the Bible says and how to apply it to their lives. Your child will be actively involved in learning by questioning, discovering, and evaluating the material presented. We believe that a child should be doing the "stuff" of the kingdom of God: learning how to pray for the sick, hearing God's voice, and doing acts of kingdom service. We believe the Vineyard Kids don't just get the "Jr. Holy Spirit", but they can learn how to pray for others, learn to discern God's voice, and be part of the entire church
Relational: Life change happens best for a child in the context of relationships with adults who are positive role models. Our staff is made up of women and men who will love your child and are committed to making a difference in their life.
Creative: Â We strive to be creative, innovative, and in touch with today's children. Vineyard Kids features "hands-on" crafts, games, learning activities, puppets, music, and drama.
Fun: Â Vineyard Kids is the place where your child will experience the ride of their life. Simply put, it's FUN! Not only will your child enjoy learning about the Bible, but they will meet some cool friends... Making Kids Church the best hour of their week!
At the Franklin Vineyard Church, we place a high value on our children. This is what drives us; it's why we do what we do. We believe that what God is doing with our children is just as important (if not more so) as what is happening with the grown-ups. That's why we offer age-appropriate classes for children from babies through elementary designed to reach each child right where they are.
Our program is designed to help children experience the excitement of discovering God's Word in age-appropriate, fun, and life-changing ways. Our mission is to be a place "where kids experience God and embark on a journey to know Him."Â
