Kids & Young Families

A safe place for your kids to grow in friendship and faith. 

Dedicated to helping every child experience God's unconditional love. 

Peace Portal Kids (6 months – 11 years old) is designed to be an adaptive program where children of all abilities can learn about Jesus, make friends, and have fun. Our dedicated team of volunteers is passionate about helping kids discover their place in God's big story. 

Every Sunday, we offer age-appropriate classes where children can sing, play, and explore Bible stories through interactive lessons and crafts.
