KIDS

We can’t wait to welcome your children into our community of faith! At Shepherd of the Hills, you’ll watch your kids grow and learn about the Bible with the perfect mix of learning and play!

CAMP HOPE
Camp Hope is a place where kids ages Pre-K through 4th grade gather to create, play, and learn about God. Kids are led by dynamic and faithful high school aged mentors, who encourage young ones to laugh and be creative during Sunday School. Sunday Mornings at 10 a.m. on Zoom.

FRIDAY FUN NIGHT
Families with children ages 0 - 4th grade meet once a month on Friday nights from 5:30-8:00pm in the Fall and Spring for prayer, dinner, themed craft/activity, kid-friendly service project and free time for connecting as faith families!

NURSERY
Our nursery is always open during worship and large church events, with a professional and caring staff ready to welcome your little ones into a safe environment.
FAITH MILESTONES
The journey of faith includes special markers & moments along the way that reflect our growth in faith and community.

BAPTISM
Jesus welcomes us into the family of faith through baptism, and we rejoice to celebrate this sacrament, or holy ritual of God’s grace, with babies and adults alike! Baptisms take place on Sunday mornings during worship, with the family of faith at Shepherd of the Hills surrounding the baptized in loving prayer and promises.

FIRST COMMUNION
We offer a Holy Communion Retreat & Celebration each spring that is geared toward 3rd & 4th graders, whether or not they are currently receiving Holy Communion. During the Retreat, students learn more about this sacrament and engage in fun activities to commemorate this milestone in faith. We celebrate these students during a special worship service at the conclusion of the Retreat.

CONFIRMATION
At the end of their 8th grade year, NextGen students are confirmed in the faith. This means that they say “Yes!” to God’s “Yes!” that was spoken to them in their baptism. They live out their baptism in a new way and are loved, prayed for, and encouraged by the church community. Confirmation Day is a joyful celebration at Shepherd of the Hills!
