Antioch Kids

ABC Kids is dedicated to making Sundays a time when each child feels the love of God, engages in His Word, and learns that they can thrive by living His Way.

Your First Visit

Hi there! My name is Dominique, it's my honor to welcome you the ABC Kids ministry.

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.
