The Kids Ministry is in Transition
Hi there! My name is Dominique, and it has been my honor to serve the children and families of Antioch for over six years as the Kid's Ministry Director. I have transitioned out of this position and moved to Idaho. In my absence, there is a group of volunteers who have stepped up to lead the ministry until the church has hired my replacement.
If you are new here and have questions for church leadership, please reach out to Pastor Karl Payne! He will connect you with the right people to answer your questions.
This ministry is focused on meeting kids where they are at and supporting you, the parent in training, and evangelizing your child to know Jesus as their Savior. It is our goal to teach children that the church is a place of abundance in faith, friends, and fun! We look forward to meeting you.
....Rise and tell their children so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep his commands. Psalm 78:1-8

Our Mission Statement
Antioch’s children’s ministry has three goals for your child to learn. And they are that church is a place to find abundance: an abundance of faith, an abundance of friends, and an abundance of fun.
Faith
Your child’s faith starts at home. Our ministry comes alongside you in the teaching of God’s great love for His children. We are with your children for just a short hour and a half on Sundays. While they are with us, they will hear a Bible story that always shares a Christ connection to the story. They will learn that God loves them, that He always has a plan, and that He is a good King, worthy of our praise.
Friends
Church is so much more than the sermon you hear. The church experience for you as an adult and even your child is about being with the body, learning from one another, serving one another, and loving one another.
Your child is starting to make friends! How exciting to see your little one growing into their own unique personality. By attending regularly, your child will begin to make friends and grow more comfortable in his/her class.
