FH Kids
Us & You for Them:
Safety is our top priority. Your children will be safe: physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Every child needs to know Jesus and pursue Him. It is our goal to show your children the love that Jesus has for them.
Jesus transforms our relationships. Every child will thrive in our community of children, parents, and leaders.
You are the most influential person in your child’s life. We are here to coach you to raise disciples of Jesus. We are not here to replace you.
More is caught than taught. Your presence in the ministry and the FH KIDS community is the best example your children will ever see.
FH Kids uses the Gospel Project curriculum. This study unites the big story and big truths of Scripture for your kids as we trace the storyline of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. The Gospel Project curriculum will take FH KIDS age Preschool through 5th grade through a chronological, Gospel centered curriculum that will support parents in developing their children’s faith and spiritual education. Each lesson module has a unit of Christ Connection to bring the lesson back to Jesus. Our FH KIDS team reinforces lessons through worship, memory verses, crafts, and activities. Parents are always welcome to reach out to our Children’s Director for more information.
Ways To Serve
1) Join our Team! The FH KIDS Team is passionate about making a difference in the lives of the Next Generation. You can join the team by serving once, twice, or four times a month. You may choose your desired schedule and classroom. No experience is necessary, we will train and equip you! Every child is a story yet to be told, Kids Ministry is a unique opportunity to Join the Story!
2) Sign up for the Parent Co-Op! Serving is how we roll at Foothills! FH Kids operates as a Family Ministry and Parent Co-Op. If you find yourself calling Foothills Church “home,” and you have a child in the ministry, we will ask you to come alongside us and join the ministry by signing up to serve in your child’s classroom once a quarter.
Our mission is to coach and support parents to raise fully devoted disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe that when you invest time in your child’s spiritual development, and they see you in the classroom, they realize the importance of the program and the importance of their faith. This is a chance to see and share in your child’s spiritual growth, and experience first hand the way our FH KIDS teachers show the love of Jesus to the children.
