KNOW  |  GROW  |  GO

Parkway Kids seeks to minister to kids and their families from birth through 5th grade. We want to hep kids come to KNOW Jesus as their Lord and Savior, GROW in their walk with Him, and GO on mission by sharing the Gospel with their friends, family, and the nations! 

  

Sunday Morning: We gather on Sundays during 11:00 service upstairs in our kids area for a time of connection, worship, and Bible exploration! Kids spend time in their individual grades and the whole group! It's a great time to meet other kids, form relationships with teachers, and hear the truth of the Bible every week.  

Wednesday Evening: During the Fall and Spring semesters we have Kids MDWK 6:00-7:45pm upstairs in our kids area! This night of discipleship is a BLAST! The middle of the week is a great time to catch up with the kids, worship together, and explore the Bible in creative ways! Kids are welcome to join at any point without missing a beat! 

Family Opportunities: Throughout the year we have Parkway Kids Family Nights and other special ministry opportunities that get the whole family involved! We believe that parents and families that are connected and unified by the mission of God are a force for the Kingdom. We do our best to offer fun, engaging, and Gospel centered ways for our families to connect with one another. 

Preteen Ministry (4th & 5th Grade): Our Parkway Preteens get opportunities to serve the church, lead in kids ministry, and grow with each other as they explore the Bible and encourage one another to follow Jesus. Our preteens have special hangouts and ministry opportunities set aside just for them. During these pivotal years we strive to help them in their spiritual growth, leadership development, and relationship building. 

FOR PARENTS

We want to partner with you as you disciple your children at home and throughout life. Here are some helpful resources that we recommend. While books and resources are great, we believe that there is nothing more powerful than spending intentional time with your family in prayer and reading the Word of God. If you have any questions about where to go next or what other resources are out there, don't hesitate to reach out and ask!

Pastor Dustin's Picks:

  • The Explorer Bible: 
    This Bible offers a great reading experience for Kids! I personally use this Bible to study and teach from sometimes. It's so cool! There are QR codes throughout that have high quality and engaging videos that the whole family can learn from. It is also full of study notes that help kids dive deep into the Scripture and teaches them how to read the Bible on their own. 

  • What is a Christian?
    This is a great easy resource for questions that your kids will ask you as they explore the Bible and learn about God. It gives simple answers to foundational questions and allows for great conversation between you and your kids! 

  •  Every Age Every Stage
    Have you ever thought "How do I teach my middle schooler and my elementary schooler about the same biblical concept in a way that they will understand it?" Every age every stage helps with just that! It explains practical and simple ways to teach biblical concepts to every age at every stage of life! Keep this handy as a very helpful discipleship resource.

  • KidMin Toolbox: Brilliant Bible Skills Activities 
    Have you ever wondered how to teach Bible skills? It can seem like a pretty daunting task. Bring Kid Ministry home with you with this awesome resource! Teach your whole family how to engage with the Bible in creative and fun ways. It doesn't have to be complicated. Teach the simple truth, have a blast, and watch your kids learn to love the Bible. 

  •  Write it on Their Hearts 
    This is my favorite discipleship book that I have ever read. It is insanely practical and challenging all at the same time. We are called to teach our children the things of God. It is never too late to start! I hope this encourages you as it has encouraged me. 

  • The Jesus Storybook Bible
    Try to read this children's Bible without shedding a tear. I don't think it's possible. The Jesus Storybook Bible has been my favorite children's Bible out there. The audiobook on Audible or wherever you get your audiobooks is also fantastic! My wife and I love reading this to our kids and I am grateful for a resource that highlights the wonder and beauty of the coming of Jesus in every Bible story!
