Moving Forward

God has been making Himself known through our ministry in the recent months! Because it has been quite some time since our last K.I.D.S. Inc update, we would like to give our supporters a picture of the state of our programs and share a vision for what we think God has set before us.

Hang Time

Hang Time is our weekly Friday gathering where middle school and high school students come to hang out. We provide students a safe place to hang out where they can play basketball, skateboard, play pool, eat a hot meal, and hear a Bible message. We have seen a consistent turnout of around sixty kids every Friday night, which is our biggest program each week. We provide stable adult relationships for these students and give them a place in which they strengthen their friendships with one another.

Elementary Club

Elementary Club meets each Thursday after school. We play games, makes crafts, and teach a Bible lesson each week. We have seen this program grow from two kids three months ago to as many as twelve kids as we’ve partnered with the school across the street from us. This program is vitally important for the neighborhood and students because it forms the basis of long-term relationships between our students and K.I.D.S. Inc and through this relationship we may see more lives changed for and through Jesus.
