Matthew 19:14
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Our mission is to reach the hearts of children and assist families in building a foundation for Spirit-filled, service-minded followers of Christ. We love your kids and our hearts' desire is to teach them the story of Jesus Christ and that they are a part of it! We have dedicated our lives to training these kids to passionately love Jesus Christ and to follow Him with their lives. He has created them for a purpose and to have abundant life in Him. We are dedicated to teaching kids the Scriptures in a way they can grasp which will reveal to them the heart of the living God, and even more importantly, we are here to help train you to do that. You are THE person the Lord has commissioned to teach your child about His love, and as you grow here at Antioch, we will help you to help your babies grow.
To help us accomplish our mission, we use a family-friendly curriculum that allows each of your children to study the same biblical concepts each week, and have some fun while they are doing it. Antioch Kids happens at Antioch Community Church on Sunday mornings during the 10:00 a.m. Celebration Service. We also offer a kid's discipleship time that builds on Sunday Morning's lesson in our midweek House Church meetings. The Kid's Ministry staff also offers Family Discipleship tools in our Kid's Connection area and throughout the year at holidays like Easter and Christmas will send home materials to help you and our family celebrate them while teaching them to be lovers and follower of Jesus.

CURRENT DISICPLESHIP SERIES THEME
It is our desire to provide age based material and discipleship activities for each of our discipleship classes. That means that each class will have a different lesson each week but we have worked to coordinate a theme that carries across all age groups to help you during your family discipleship time.
Connect: Nursery-5 years
Grow and Bridge: 1st-6th grade
In this four-week series, preschoolers ages two to five will learn all about four essential core values to living a Godly life. They will unpack what it means to love God, love people, do their best, and have fun doing it. This series will bring a new and exciting twist to the values that God has called us to keep close to our hearts. With help from the amazing world of sports, kids are sure to have a blast learning all about what’s most important in life. So get your game faces on, and get ready to learn about the core values!
We want to give your kids a strong foundation in what it means to by a disciple of Jesus Christ. To build that foundation we will be going through a curriculum called Roots. Roots is a 32 week interactive Sunday morning experience where students will explore who God is, who they are, and how they can live it all out in their lives. Students will be encouraged to have fun as they deepen their relationship with God! . Another fun part of the Roots program is a segment we call "LifeSkills"—where students will learn practical skills they'll use everyday.
