Growing in faith

Kids ministry at Good Shepherd

Throughout gsKids, children are encouraged to grow in their faith by experiencing the love of Christ alongside their leaders and peers. We provide hands-on learning opportunities for each grade level. Children also can practice their faith through experiences like Summer Camps, special events for Easter and Christmas and other engaging activities throughout the year. gsKids is offered during worship services.

What to Expect

Every Sunday morning, at all of our campuses and during every service, students are invited to engage in a dynamic environment designed just for them. Here, they can experience a blend of play, worship, and age-appropriate lessons that bring Bible stories to life in meaningful ways. Through crafts, games, and group discussions, children not only learn about the teachings of Jesus but also how to apply them to their daily lives.

The Best Part,

gsKids is available during all worship services, offering a safe and nurturing environment for children to discover God’s love while parents participate in their own worship experience. Our staff and volunteers are passionate about providing a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to grow spiritually.

Our Commitment to Safety & Protection

At Good Shepherd, the safety and protection of our children is of utmost importance, and we take this responsibility very seriously. All volunteers working with children, youth, or disabled adults must undergo a thorough background check and complete our Safe Gatherings training every three years. This ensures that our church provides a secure and nurturing environment for all participants. If you're interested in volunteering with gsKids you can learn more about Safe Gatherings policies and training materials by clicking the link below.
