The Southcliff Children's Ministry is the foundational building block for this and future generations. It is where life begins for many Christians. We want to guide our children to a solid biblical foundation for their lives. Jesus wants us to thrive as Christians. He came so that we may have an abundant life (John 10:10). We want our kids to have a thriving Christian life.

On Sunday Mornings at Kid Connection, children will experience biblical instruction and life application in fun, and relevant ways. In large group time the children will experience Bible stories, games, songs, and videos all designed to reinforce the main idea for the morning. In small group the children will connect with caring adults who love them and will focus on life application of biblical truths.

AWANA is offered on Wednesday evenings. The AWANA program teaches children to hide God's word in their hearts. Children can work toward awards for learning Bible verses and completing certain tasks designed to make God's word come alive in their hearts and minds.

There are four relationships that can define a thriving Christian life. It is these four relationships that we have built our children's ministry around.

A Growing Relationship with God	At Southcliff we will teach the gospel and guide the children to deepen their walk with God.
A Healthy Relationship with Family	We will teach the importance of family and the child’s role as a member of a family.
An Active Relationship with the Church	We will teach the importance of service and fellowship as a member of the church and provide opportunities for our children to live out.
A Missional Relationship with the World	We will encourage the children to engage the world around them in a biblical manner.
