Kids' Harbor ministers to over 400 kids every year from birth to 5th grade. The Bible is taught in every class at every age.

Mission

Kids’ Harbor equips and emboldens families to walk as children of light.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
— 2 Corinthians 4:6

For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.  Walk as children of light. — Ephesians 5:8

Vision

Grace-redeemed children of God who shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life.

“that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life…”
— Philippians 2:15-16
