Founded on Deuteronomy 6:5-9, our goal is to bring the deep, deep love of Jesus Christ to all children and their families; thereby launching them into Ministry and Mission.

Required Background Screening -The JKPC session adopted a new policy. National Background Screening for volunteers who work with children and youth will now be run.  Prior to now, volunteers underwent a state wide screening process; but in an attempt to do the most we can to safeguard our children it was felt a national screening was in order. Anyone who works at JKPC with children or youth under the age of 18 will need to enter some information. You may utilize the following computer link. The background checks will be run by a company named Protect My Ministry. It will only take about 3 minutes to enter your information. For more information, or questions about this policy please contact the office or Dave Roberts.

 

Thursday Evenings: Jam 6:30 PM-8:00 PM for Kindergarten through Sixth Grade              The second half of this season’s JAM (Jesus and Me) Program continues until our Year End Program on March 25.  Get to know kids your age, meet teachers who really care, play games in the gym, and come together at the end to worship God through signing, talk time and prayer.  This season our focus is on the Power of Prayer as we continue to learn about the Lord’s Prayer. 

Parenting Classes                                                                                                               We’ve wrapped up our Parenting Class for this session.  Thank you to all who participated in this very informative, relevant, discussion-based class.  We’d be happy to offer more classes related to children, families and faith on Thursday evenings, if there is enough interest.  If you would like to connect with other parents, grandparents or guardians to discuss relevant issues facing our children today, please contact Sue-Ann Hohimer as shohimer@jkpcusa.org.
