Kids ministry at Redemption Parker exists to partner with parents to make disciples of their children for the glory of God and the joy of all people. We firmly believe that Scripture is clear in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 that the chief responsibility and joy of parents is to raise up their children in a home that loves the Lord with all their heart, soul, and might. Kids ministry at RP exists to partner with parents to help them accomplish this great task in several ways.

1. We provide safe spaces for children to learn and grow apart from their parents.

2. We partner teach the words of God diligently to children and gently prepare them to enter the long-standing liturgies of the church.

3. We seek to equip parents to talk about the words of God with their children throughout the week.

The volunteers of Redemption Parker Kids Ministry are what we call Strategic Servants. They have the special privilege of partnering with the parents of Redemption Parker to lay a firm foundation of Truth in the lives of the children that we serve. We provide an environment that is safe, happy, and nurturing, while presenting children with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our classrooms are currently broken down as follows: 0-23 mos, 2-3 yo, 4-6 yo, and 7-11 yo and are served by two background checked adults. Membership is a requirement to teach in our 7-11 yo classroom. We would love to seek to accommodate your classroom preferences and will thoroughly train you for whichever role you choose.

We ask our volunteers to commit to serving 2x/month for a semester at a time and then to reassess whether they will choose to serve again for another semester. The semesters are broken down as follows: October through March and April through September. If you are unable to commit to serving 2x/month for a semester at a time, but are still interested in serving every so often, consider serving as a Kids Ministry Alternate who staffs the occasional 5th Sunday and are called upon by other Strategic Servants as needed to fill their spot in their classroom.
