Then Jesus said, "Leave the children alone, and don't try to keep them from coming to Me, because the kingdom of heaven is made up of people like this." Matthew 19:14 (HCSB)

Bring the children to Jesus. There's no better place for them to be. Moms and dads face many challenges in raising their children. While it's not the church's responsibility to raise children, it is our responsibility to offer parents encouragement and opportunity.

Here's an overview of Children's Ministry at Northside:

Sunday School
Provides a classroom environment for children of all ages to learn and grow. They begin with basic Bible stories and progress over time into an understanding of how God's Word applies to all areas of life. more...

Awana
The centerpiece of Children's Ministry at Northside. The fun and exciting club atmosphere is appealing to kids age 3 through grade 6. more...

Soccer Plus
Awana doesn't meet in summer, so Soccer Plus fills the gap. Developed by Kathy Aubrey, Soccer Plus gives kids a chance to learn the ever popular game of soccer while learning about the timeless truths of God's word. Soccer Plus is available to children from Kindergarten through 6th grade.

Vacation Bible School
VBS as it is commonly known, is a long standing tradition at Northside and with good reason. Way back in 1966, Northside started as the result of a Vacation Bible School in Liverpool. Today, VBS is an annual, weeklong summertime event that ministers to up to 200 children each year. VBS includes Bible teaching, crafts, games and snacks.
