Children & Youth Programs
Kidventure (Children – 5th grade)
Kidventure
Kidventure meets every Sunday. Children join their families for worship for the first 15 minutes of our 9:30 worship service and then are dismissed to their class during announcements. A typical Sunday includes a lesson, a craft, a snack and time in prayer.
Kidventure’s purpose is to provide children with foundational knowledge that encourages them to deepen their faith. We want to help build a faith-based community for children where they can feel supported, loved and safe. We want children to not only know they are loved by God but also feel it and see it.
We have fun events throughout the year for families to enjoy together!
The Calling (Grades 6-12)
The Calling is a group where young people are accepted for who they are, what they believe, and are shown that they are simply loved by God. That profound love of God is the foundation that allows us to create an environment where youth can grow into spiritually mature adults. The goal of this ministry is to be a conduit for God to meet the youth of today and allow the youth to become who God created them to be, with a faith they can develop and call their own.
Jr. and Sr. High Youth (grades 6-12) meet on Sunday mornings from 10-11 am, followed by Sr. High only from 11-12:15 pm. The last Sunday of every month is Movie Matinee. Jr. High Youth (grades 6-8) meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm. The last Wednesday of every month is Movie Night. Jr. High also meets the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month from 10:15 am-11:00 am.
Hosanna’s youth can participate in a variety of fun activities scheduled throughout the year, including a summer service trip for senior highers, in which they can expect to work hard serving those in need.
SAfe Church Policy
Hosanna was and remains an early and passionate adopter of Safe Community practices that are designed and implemented to foster safe places for children and youth to worship and learn. We take seriously the safety of everyone in our church and in the wider community.
All volunteers working with children and youth are trained in safe church practices and mandated reporting, have received child abuse clearances from the state, and have committed to keeping the young people in their care as safe as possible. Hosanna ensures that there are always at least two adults present whenever minors are in our building or participating in one of our events.
We are also available to parents and others to provide wisdom or guidance on the safety of children and adults in a world that feels increasingly unsafe in many ways.
