Welcome to Adventure Kids

An Adventure of Faith Starts Here.

At Impact Church, we are passionate about creating a place where children feel welcomed, loved, encouraged, and excited to grow in their faith.

Through engaging Bible lessons, interactive activities, worship, prayer, and meaningful friendships, children are invited to explore God's Word and discover the incredible purpose He has for their lives.

We believe faith is more than simply knowing about God. It is about building a personal relationship with Jesus, learning to trust Him, and allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us through every season of life.

Our mission

Helping Children Know Jesus and Discover Their Purpose.

Our mission is to lead children on an exciting journey of faith, helping them develop a personal relationship with Jesus, discover their identity in Christ, and build a strong biblical foundation.

Through age appropriate teaching and hands on experiences, we encourage children to grow in confidence, character, compassion, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

Our ministry is built on a foundation of love, honesty, integrity, compassion, faith, and fellowship, with Jesus Christ at the center of everything we do.

A Place to Grow at Every Stage.

Every child learns and grows differently. Our three age based classrooms provide opportunities to explore God's Word in ways that connect with each stage of development.

CampersAges 1 to 4 PioneersAges 5 to 8 Mountain ClimbersAges 9 to 12

Campers

Little Explorers, Big Discoveries.Exploring God's Word, One Step at a Time.

Ages 1 to 4

Our youngest adventurers begin discovering God's love in a loving and nurturing environment.

In the Campers classroom, little ones begin experiencing God's amazing love through simple Bible stories, music, play, and age appropriate activities.

Our goal is to help our youngest children feel safe, loved, and excited to come to church as they begin building their first understanding of who Jesus is.

Campers Check In

Campers may be dropped off at the Adventure Kids check in desk beginning 10 minutes before service starts.

What to Expect

Gentle Bible teaching, interactive play, songs, creative activities, and caring volunteers who help make each child's first steps in faith joyful and meaningful.

Pioneers

Building Strong Faith, Reaching New Heights.

Ages 5 to 8

Our Pioneers are ready to explore new territory.

At this stage, children are naturally curious, full of questions, and eager to discover the world around them. We encourage that curiosity through engaging Bible lessons, meaningful discussions, and interactive activities that bring Scripture to life.

Pioneers explore God's Story, discover His character, and begin understanding what it means to be part of God's family. As they continue their adventure, they learn how to trust Jesus, make godly choices, develop friendships, and apply what they learn to everyday life.

Sunday Experience

Pioneers begin their Sunday experience worshiping alongside their parents in the sanctuary. After worship, they transition to their Adventure Kids classroom.

What to Expect

Engaging Bible lessons, group discussions, hands on activities, teamwork, prayer, and opportunities to discover how Jesus can guide their path.

Mountain Climbers

Building Strong Faith, Reaching New Heights.

Ages 9 to 12

Every mountain brings new challenges, new discoveries, and opportunities to grow stronger.

Our Mountain Climbers are entering an important season of life when questions become deeper, friendships become more meaningful, and personal identity begins to take shape. We want to help them build a strong spiritual foundation as they discover who God created them to be.

Through deeper biblical discussions, interactive lessons, prayer, and real life application, Mountain Climbers are encouraged to develop their own relationship with Jesus, strengthen their understanding of Scripture, and grow in confidence as young followers of Christ.

They explore God's Story, God's Character, and God's Family while learning to navigate challenges with wisdom, faith, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.

A Bridge to Youth Ministry

Mountain Climbers alternate weekly between participating in the main sanctuary sermon and attending their Adventure Kids classroom. This intentional rhythm helps prepare them for their next adventure in Impact Church's Youth Ministry by developing confidence, spiritual maturity, and connection to the larger church family. Our goal is to help these young leaders build a faith that continues growing long after they leave the classroom.

What to Expect

Thought provoking Bible lessons, group conversations, engaging activities, teamwork, prayer, and opportunities to apply God's Word to real life situations.

Nursery Available

A nursery is available for our youngest children, providing families with a caring and welcoming environment during Sunday service.

Our biblical foundation

Discovering God's Story Together.

Adventure Kids uses the God's Kids curriculum through RightNow Kids, helping children discover who God is and how His Word applies to their lives. Our lessons focus on three foundational areas.

God's Story

Discovering Jesus Throughout the Bible

Children explore God's plan of redemption and discover how Scripture points to Jesus, His life, death, and resurrection.

God's Character

Learning Who God Is

Children discover God's love, goodness, holiness, grace, and faithfulness, learning to trust Him in every season.

God's Family

Discovering Where We Belong

Children learn their identity in Christ, how to love and serve others, and what it means to belong to God's family.

Your child's safety

Safe. Welcoming. Cared For.

Every person who serves in Adventure Kids is approved by Impact Church leadership and must complete a background check before being permitted to serve in the ministry.

Our volunteers lead with love, integrity, patience, and biblical truth so that every child can learn and grow in an environment where they feel heard, valued, and supported.
