Mercy Road Kids
Helping every child feel KNOWN, LOVED and SECURE in Jesus Christ
At Mercy Road Church our goal is to partner with parents to help every child feel KNOWN, LOVED and SECURE in Jesus Christ.
If we could convince a generation to trust Jesus daily, it would transform their capacity to love God, others, and themselves. Raising the next generation with Godly character and a Biblical worldview is more important than ever in our increasingly post-Christian culture.
Ultimately, we want kids not just to know about Jesus. We want them to trust Jesus and practice an everyday faith that reflects the love that Jesus commanded.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT PROGRAMMING
Sunday Mornings
Our classroom for babies through age three is staffed with loving nannies and volunteers who get to know your children week after week. This helps create an environment where your little ones feel known, loved, and secure. A Bible Story is shared to plant little seeds of faith each week. We use Orange First Look curriculum in this classroom
We want to incite Biblical wonder in our preschoolers. We meet them where they are cognitively, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Through age-appropriate activities, our kids are building their Biblical foundation so that they know and believe these three basic truths –
GOD MADE ME
GOD LOVES ME
JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER
We use the following curriculum: First Look from Orange, The Biggest Story, and The Storybook Bible.
We have a clear and unifying goal to raise up Resilient Child Disciples in a post-Christian culture. We want to help parents raise kids with a resilient everyday faith. We use gospel-centered and biblically-rich curriculums. In every lesson, the Bible is read, heard, and connected to Jesus in ways kids can understand in their own lives, so they can begin to say: I believe in Jesus, I’m becoming more like Him, and I belong to Him forever. We use curriculum from, The New City Catechism, Orange 252, Awana Brite and The Biggest Story.
An opportunity for our Youth to connect and engage in conversations about biblical truths with an adult leader. This group is optional and meets on the 2nd and 4th Sunday during the 10:30 AM service.
Parent and Family Resources
At Mercy Road Kids, we understand that parents have the most influence on a child, and by partnering with you, we can make a greater impact. We have a family resource wall filled with books and resources covering a wide range of topics. We also offer parenting small group workshops and events throughout the year.
CHILD DEDICATION
Having your child dedicated is a special moment for your family and our church. It’s a time to thank God for the gift of your child and publicly commit to raising them to know, love, and follow Jesus. In a world that pulls families in so many directions, dedication reminds us that helping our children build a faith in Jesus is one of the most important things we will ever do.
