During this phase in our county, Countryside Kids is offering outdoor events for families once every 1-2 months, along with sharing simple things families can do while participating in weekly worship. Sign up to receive our newsletter for weekly Bible story videos. Watch worship for a special children's message that often times includes a Family Faith Moment, which is one simple way families can talk about and grow in your faith together. For more information, check out the links below our mission and values statements!
