Welcome to
Village Kids!

We desire for each child to know, to love, and to encounter the power of Jesus through worship and God’s Word. Children will experience engaging and creative Bible teaching, dig deep into God’s truths, and apply His word to their hearts in a fun, loving, and safe environment.

Get Involved with Village Kids

There are multiple ways for you and your child to engage with Village Kids! These are some of our ongoing offerings for children at Village Church.

Sunday morning with village kids

Sunday Services

At Village Kids on Sunday mornings, we enjoy a time of teaching, activities, worship, and small-group discussion.

Our small group leaders are asked to serve with your kids for a minimum of 8 consecutive weeks, so they can have a chance to really get to know them, and vice versa!

Sunday services are available for ages 0-4th grade, with an additional, separate program for our 5th- and 6th-grade siblings and friends called “The 5-6.”

Village Kids Awana

AWANA

Village Church has offered AWANA for over 30 years as part of our discipleship to kids. AWANA is a worldwide nonprofit ministry focused on providing Bible-based evangelism and discipleship solutions for ages 2-18.

The program focuses on scripture memorization, Bible knowledge, evangelism, and the development of personal rhythms of Bible study.

This weeknight program provides your kids with countless opportunities to hide God’s Word in their hearts, build connections with their leaders, and have fun with other kids!

VBS at Village Church Bartlett Illinois

VBS

Once per summer, Village Church transforms into a wild place full of adventure, generosity, and hands-on Bible experiences.

VBS brings God’s word to other kids in our community, as well as our own Village Kids, helping them flourish while they’re immersed in what feels like a different world!

Taking a Next Step with Village Kids

Once your child has chosen to follow Jesus, there are three parts of Village Church’s mission we would like you to help them consider: Go, Grow, and Overcome!

MISSION 1: GO

As a follower of Jesus, your child is now part of the Great Commission! Village Kids will equip you and your kids with frequent opportunities to bring the gospel into your neighborhood, your family, your community, and around the world.

Our Go & Grow Kits are a great way to GO regularly.

Additionally, be on the lookout for biannual family service days through our Bartlett Community Care Collective (BC3) ministry, as well as other service opportunities throughout the year!

MISSION 2: GROW

At Village Kids, we encourage your child to GROW as a disciple of Jesus in four ways – engaging in church, getting baptized, taking communion, and practicing personal Bible study and prayer.

You can read more about how you can use each of these to help your child GROW below!

MISSION 3: OVERCOME

Village Kids are overcomers.

We believe the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord, equips us to overcome everything that hinders us from being more like Jesus.

Village Kids offers a variety of resources to equip parents to disciple their children effectively in areas essential to developing a biblical worldview and an experiential foundation.

Additionally, Village Church supports counseling for our Village Kids who may need extra therapeutic guidance.
