At River Kids it is our desire to partner with parents in leading children to have a personal relationship with God The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit. We pray that each child will accept Jesus as their King, trusting Him with all their heart and experience His presence in a tangible and personal way. Our vision:

1. We believe that we have a mandate to teach children the Word of God.
“Dedicate your children to God and point them in the way that they should go and the values they’ve learned from you will be with them for life.” Proverbs 22:6
2. We believe that children need a firm foundation of faith/truth on which to build their lives.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7

​3. We believe that children belong to the Kingdom of God
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​

Our Children Volunteers / Leaders
​
We encourage parental participation in our River Kids church
When a parent volunteers in kids church it reinforces the value of being part of a community and teaches children that as parents we strongly support our children in their faith journey. Kids absolutely love it and thrive when mum or dad come to help.
