Mars Kids

At Mars Kids, we serve children from birth through 6th grade by creating a safe, fun, and gospel-centered environment where kids can grow in their faith and know they are deeply loved by God. We believe parents are the primary disciple-makers in their children’s lives, and we’re committed to partnering with families every step of the way. Through our GROW365 framework, we intentionally walk with kids and parents through both spiritual milestones and key developmental stages, helping kids build a lifelong faith that grows with them.

  • Nursery & Preschool

    We believe no heart is too small to be discipled and cared for. That’s why our Nursery and Preschool ministry is more than just childcare—it’s a place where even our youngest kids begin to encounter God’s love and truth in developmentally meaningful ways.

    We use Truth78 curriculum to help lay a strong biblical foundation during these early years. Our environments are safe, nurturing, and designed with your child’s age and stage in mind:

    Babies (0–17 months) – Cared for in a peaceful, loving space by trained volunteers.

    Toddlers (18 months–2 years) – Beginning to engage with songs, simple stories, and hands-on play.

    Preschool (3 & 4 years) – Introduced to Bible truths through age-appropriate teaching, activities, and crafts.

    5K (5 years & Kindergarten) – Participate in Preschool Worship, where they sing, praise Jesus, and rotate through Old and New Testament stories each year.

  • Elementary & Preteens

    Our Elementary and Preteen environments are full of energy, connection, and meaningful discipleship. Each week, kids dive into God’s Word through lessons written specifically for Mars Kids, designed to follow the rhythms of our church and match the developmental stages of each age group.

    Elementary (1st–3rd grade) – Kids explore the Bible through interactive teaching, games, and small group conversations that help them apply what they’re learning to everyday life.

    Preteens (4th–6th grade) – Our oldest kids dig deeper into Scripture, ask big questions, and build strong friendships as they learn how to own and live out their faith.

    All kids in 1st grade and up begin the Sunday service in the main auditorium with their families and are dismissed before the message to their classrooms for teaching and activities designed just for them.

Safety & Mars Kids Volunteers

Your child’s safety is one of our highest priorities. Every child must be checked in before being dropped off in a classroom and picked up by an adult with a matching security tag. Our check-in system ensures that only authorized individuals are able to pick up your child.

We also believe that great ministry begins with great leaders. Our Mars Kids Volunteers are the heart and soul of everything we do. Each one is passionate about sharing God’s love with kids and creating a safe, welcoming space for them to grow in faith. Every volunteer is thoroughly screened and must pass a background check before serving with us.

MARS KIDS SUMMER CAMP RADIO

From silly sing-alongs to catchy tunes that got everyone moving, these songs were a big hit with our campers. We had so much fun learning the words, dancing along, and making music together.
