J-TOWN  KIDS

"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, TPT

The purpose of J-Town Children's Ministry is to support families and children into a growing, connecting and authentic relationship with Jesus. Through Spirit filled biblical truths, we desire to see children so moved by the power and presence of God that it sets the foundation for which they will build their lives. We are fully persuaded that if you culture an atmosphere where God's presence and glory are present, children will not only have an encounter with Holy Spirit, but a lifelong personal relationship with Jesus,

Laying the foundations for a lifelong personal relationship with Jesus.

UPCOMING J-TOWN EVENTS

Nursery - Kinder

In our fun and exciting Jr classes, we provide ministry during all of our services for children between the ages of 6 weeks to Kindergarten.

Our rooms are staffed with wonderful J-Town team members just waiting to ensure that your child feels loved, encounters Jesus & has fun!

1st - 5th

In our ridiculously awesome service for elementary school children, our team will lead your kids through each aspect of our service continually pointing them to the nature and character of Jesus.

Our classes are loud, fun, engaging and relational, but most importantly we are intentional.

Annual Events

Every year we produce great opportunities for kids to grow in God outside of our regular services. These include:
Summer Kids Camp
Lock-Ins

***watch for info on these events seasonally in J-Town and video announcements***
Each class is geared towards allowing Holy Spirit to minister to your child with His peace
and joy. Our priority is to keep your child safe and to provide a fun atmosphere as they learn how greatly Jesus loves them.

Level Up - Kids Prayer & Discipleship

We believe the foundation in our growing relationship with God is based on the principle of prayer. Each
Sunday morning, children are given an atmosphere to seek the face of God. We give time for personal
reflection & repentance, then come together to pray over individual requests, and for our communities,
schools, and our nation. We then lead into a time of discipleship on a focused topic.

Our Commitment.

It is our desire to serve the needs of you and your child as we would serve Christ. Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment so that each child will feel happy and loved.
Our team has a passion to impart the Word of God in a fun, loving, inviting and exciting way with a concentrated effort to reach and change the lives of every child we encounter. Each week your children will engage in hands-on ministry with the Gospel presented and demonstrated through powerful worship, engaging teachings, object lessons, small groups,  games and so much more. We intentionally bring Jesus into every aspect of our service and purposefully set an atmosphere for His Presence. We are dedicated to teaching biblical truths and providing spiritual foundation necessary for all children to accept Christ. We understand the importance in partnering with you to help them encounter Holy Spirit, trust God's Word, understand their value in Christ and develop a personal relationship with Jesus.

The 4 Pillars of J-Town

#1

I AM HIS
To know their purpose and who God created and called them to be. To know they
are designed and loved by God, and they are His special treasure. They belong to Him!
HE IS MY FRIEND

#2

To know that Jesus is always with them, even in their struggles because
that’s His promise to them.

#3

I HAVE ACCESS TO HEAVEN
To know the Blood Covenant that Jesus made with them and
every benefit that belongs to them as His son or daughter. That the same power and
authority of Jesus lives on the inside of them when they accept Jesus as their savior and make
that exchange from sin to repentance. Nothing is impossible through Jesus!

#4

I CARRY KINGDOM
To know they are equipped and ready to stand against darkness. To
operate in demonstration and power of the gospel to see our communities & families saved,
healed, set free, and to restore love and hope in those around them.
