HK Mission Statement
The goal of the Heritage Kids Ministry is to come alongside parents in building an UNSHAKEABLE and lasting FOUNDATION in Christ for their children. As we partner to teach children the true and living Word of God they will be transformed by Christ’s love, grow daily in a close, personal relationship with Him, and constantly seeking His will for their lives.
Proverbs 22:6
Matthew 7:25
Psalm 62:6
Mathew 16:18b
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
...and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved.
…and on this rock I will build My church…
