What we believe.
-We believe Kids are world-changers.
-We believe Jesus, God's only Son, is the ultimate world changer bringing forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
-We believe the Bible is the true inspired word of God.
-We believe the kids have an amazing ability to understand biblical truths and apply to their lives.
 
Kidmo is about transforming lives! 
K-5 Call to Action
-K-  Know God
-I-   Integrate Biblical Worldview

5 layers to Life Change (there is a pyramid logo on the Kidmo website)  Safe, Fun, Relational, Relevant and Personal (safe is foundation)
 
A safe environment is our number one priority for our LittleLights on Sunday morning!  Upon arrival and check-in a parent/legal guardian will wear a wristband with an ID # that matches your child's wristband ID #.  These are called Twinbands.  At the end of children's church an adult leader will check wristband ID's before releasing your child.  An adult leader is always present in faithful compliance of all Kansas and Methodist Rules of Safe and Sacred.
 
Lil'k is our preschool program for 3-5 year olds.  Lil'k meet in room 304 during our 9:00 am and 10:45 service.
 
Kidmo is our elementary school program for kids in Kidergarten through 4th grade.  Kidmo meets in the Lecture Room during our 9:00 and 10:45 service.
 
 
FIRST STEPS Nursery
FirstLight wants you to feel comfortable knowing that your littlest ones receive the best care. So at each worship time, we provide a nursery with a wonderful, loving worker who will be there every Sunday so you and your child can recognize them. Another adult is also present in faithful compliance of all Kansas and Methodist rules of Safe and Sacred Sanctuaries.

Held in Nursery Room 302

Get Involved
Imagine serving in a ministry where you get the chance to tell children each week how much God loves them. A place where you connect with a team of volunteers to make the Word of God come alive! Imagine singing along to worship music that touches your heart and laughing and smiling with children.
Here are some ways that you can get involved in FirstLight Children's Ministry... Be a Kidmo or Lil'K adult leader, act as an adult mentor and lead a small group, greet and sign in children at the registration table, volunteer in our nursery or join us for special LittleLights events! If you love the Lord and would like to make a difference in the life of a child we would love to talk to you.

“Central to the Christian

experience is the art of

questioning God. Not

belligerent, arrogant

questions that have no

respect for our maker, but

naked, honest, vulnerable,

raw questions, arising out of

the awe that comes from

engaging the living God.”

-- Rob Bell,
