Who We Are

Mission Statement

Summit Kids exists to anchor children to gospel truth and equip them to follow Jesus.

Vision

We commit to promote the safety, belonging, Biblical literacy, and theological competency of children both during our Sunday morning services and in our life together as the Body of Christ.
My people, hear my instruction; listen to the words from my mouth. I will declare wise sayings; I will speak mysteries from the past—things we have heard and known and that our ancestors have passed down to us. We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, his might, and the wondrous works he has performed. He established a testimony in Jacob and set up a law in Israel, which he commanded our ancestors to teach to their children so that a future generation—children yet to be born—might know. They were to rise and tell their children so that they might put their confidence in God and not forget God’s works, but keep his commands. Then they would not be like their ancestors, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not loyal and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
Psalm 78:2-7

November Unit

This Month’s Unit Title Is: Beyond

This month’s unit, Beyond, will help kids understand that God has us, holds us and fights for us! God loves us more than we could ever imagine and fights for us in ways we can’t always see. He is greater!

Biblical Literacy:  Our stories this month teach kids how God is greater than anything! Through the Bible stories, kids will see that God’s power, mercy and holiness go beyond every fear, mistake or obstacle. God is beyond all creation, all limits and anything we could ever face! Our monthly memory verse comes from Psalms.

Preschool: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.
Elementary: Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable.
(Psalm 145:3)

All participating children must be enrolled in Summit Kids and checked in and out of class by parents/guardians.
To ensure the safety of our Summit Ridge Church families, a Summit Kids Parent Check-In Tag is required to check your child out of class. 

We look forward to ministering to your family!
