About Our Ministry
We believe in pouring into the next generation of world-changers. Our goal for Antioch Kids is to provide a fun environment where kids can encounter God and be discipled into the image of Jesus as salt and light for their generation.
Sunday Service
Check-in begins 10am Sunday mornings before service begins, and class doors open at 10:15. If it's your first time, we encourage you to come early to get your kid(s) checked in.
Our Classrooms
Our classrooms are divided by age and are taught according to the development of each child and what their needs may be. Our classrooms are run by volunteers under the oversight of our Kid’s Pastor, Niki Harris and Kid's Ministry administrators Nikki Hayes and Maggie-Kate Howard.
Our Curriculum
Antioch Kids utilizes Timeline Kids, a biblically-based curriculum, designed to help facilitate a fun atmosphere where our children can enjoy learning scripture with a focus on the love of God, the need for Jesus, and practical ways to walk out our faith.
Our Volunteer Team
Each of our Kids Ministry classrooms are led by a team of trained volunteers. All of our volunteers are required to have a background check, an interview, and a character recommendation from a trusted leader. As our ministry continues to grow, we are always looking for more volunteers to serve our kids! Let us know if you would like to join our Pillar Team.
Our Classrooms
Crawlers

Every child who enters this class will be met with kindness, gentleness, and joy. They will not leave our class without being prayed for by name. We will contact parents if littles are having a hard time transitioning because we believe that you are their safe space and their number one discipler.

Lower Elementary
1-2nd grade
We desire for our elementary school kids to grow in their hunger for the word of God and that they will learn to obey what it says as they actively pursue a relationship with Jesus all 7 days of the week! We focus on small group discipleship time, worship and fun with our KFC (Kids Fun Crew!), and other hands-on activities that help us engage with the deeper truths of Scripture. We also send out monthly “JAM” times, or Jesus and Me times, to help encourage daily time with Jesus!
