Promotion Weekend
All kids that have completed Kindergarten and going into 1st grade will transition from Kidzlink Jr. to Kidzlink Elementary!
All kids that have completed 5th grade and going into 6th grade will graduate to Crave!
Parents, please come this weekend as we celebrate your child’s/children’s accomplishments during service.
Child Dedication
When raising kids, we understand the importance of guiding your children to a fruitful and healthy life. For in Psalms 8:2 says, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.”
This is why we invite any parent to bring their child/children to partake in a public statement of faith: that you wish to raise your child under God's grace and wisdom.
Each campus will be hosting this during service on Mother’s Day weekend. Select your campus below and fill out the online form.
XO Conference
At the XO 2024 conference, we want you to take a step back from the everyday chaos and fast-paced routines. We want you to take a deep breath, and take a moment to retreat with your spouse. Be intentional with one another and enjoy being in love. Take this time to be together and find peace with one another on Cloud Nine.
One Night
One Night is a network-wide youth gathering for any students in 6th - 12th grades. This event is hosted at our Freeport Campus and we will have fun games, prizes, and free food! We will worship the Lord passionately and have a message that will inspire and challenge us to live lives FOR HIS GLORY! Your student will not want to miss this! We encourage students to arrive when doors open at 5:30 pm and the event is from 6-9 pm. If you have any questions about the night or need help with transportation, please reach out to your Crave leaders or champion.
