The Mount Kids

The Mount Kids consists of Infants -PreK, Kindergarten-4th Grade, and 5th-6th Graders.

The Mount Kids exists to SHOW Jesus to children so that they GROW to know Him and GO tell others about Him.

"Tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders He has done."

-Psalm 78:4

Every time kids attend The Mount Kids, parents can expect them to learn meaningful and relevant truths from God's Word.

Kids of all ages, from babies through preteens, will have opportunities to experience God through age-appropriate worship and gospel-centered teaching with lots of high-energy fun mixed in. Everything we do is centered on kids and designed to point them to Jesus!

(Infants – Pre-K) focus on laying biblical foundations of faith that will grow for a lifetime. Foundational concepts about God, Jesus, and the Bible are taught through age-appropriate Bible story and gospel activities. Preschoolers experience God through hands-on learning and the care of loving adult leaders.

(Kindergarten – 4th Grade) focus on biblical literacy in the areas of knowledge, understanding, and application. As children are learning to read, we challenge them to experience God’s word for themselves with hands-on Bible skills development and learning. Our desire is for children to learn, live and love God’s word beginning in childhood and continuing for their entire lives.

(5th & 6th Grade) focus on developing a biblical worldview by putting their faith into action and living out the truth of the gospel. We help them connect the dots between God’s word and their daily lives. We are intentional about helping preteens successfully bridge from children’s ministry to student ministry.

A NOTE TO PARENTS

At The Mount, we believe parents are the primary disciple-makers of their kids. Therefore, our desire is to come alongside and partner with you by equipping you with tools, resources, and conversational pieces that will allow you to take the lead as the primary influence in your child's life. Some of the ways we do this by occasionally hosting parenting classes, pointing you to helpful resources, and keeping parents in mind with everything we plan for kids. Parenting is hard and we want to be positive encouragers and a source of support for you. We don’t always know the answer, but our door is always open!
