TC Kids

<b>ThornCreek Children’s Ministry</b> strives to partner with families to raise children in the way of Jesus. It’s our goal for children to be transformed by the love of God, to grow in their walk with God, surrender their lives to God, and be a light in the world for others to know God in the same way.<br><br>Our curriculum takes the kids through the Bible in a year and they are invited into The Big God Story to experience it and discover who God is and how they fit into His plan!<br><br>We believe that parents have a huge impact on the faith of their children! Every Monday, parents are emailed a Family Bible Study that you can do throughout the week with your kids. We also have a repeating 6-week Spiritual Parenting small group that you can be a part of to learn more about raising your children to know God!<br><br>We have classes available each weekend for Infants through 5th grade.<br><br>All volunteers have passed background checks and we have security procedures in place to create a safe environment for your kids.
