Kids are a big deal at DMGC
Our desire is to reach children for Jesus Christ through quality teaching and fun activities intended to build a solid spiritual foundation in the heart of each child.
We will love your children - sharing the Gospel and discipling them toward spiritual maturity. We partner with parents, encouraging every family to make a whole life commitment to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Sunday School
During the 10:00 AM Sunday Service:
The elementary school years are a time when children begin to make their faith their own. Students meet in the Sunday school auditorium to worship and praise the Lord together through music and then study God's Word in small groups. Our wonderful leaders teach the Bible, the importance of prayer, God's love and how to apply biblical principles to their lives. Children are encouraged to bring their Bibles to class every Sunday. We will share with your children the Lord's desire to have a personal relationship with them.

Midweek Activities During the School Year
KidREACH: Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00 PM
KidREACH is a World Vision partner program; an After School Academic Mentoring Program for children desiring tutoring help with school work during the school year. Currently we are working with children from Des Moines Elementary School. Dinner is served for the students and their families at 6:30 PM. Applications are available through the church office or Des Moines Elementary School. This is strictly an academic program.
MOPS Kids Program:
The MOPS Kids program runs simultaneously with our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) program on the first Monday evening of each month during the school year. For more information about MOPS and MOPS Kids, please click here.
Dedication of Children
Child dedication is intended to be a significant commitment on the part of the parents who want, with God's grace, to live Godly lives and raise children "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Child dedication does not make anyone a Christian. We are saved by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. Parents desiring to dedicate their children should contact Pastoral Team member, Mac Sauerlender, at either mac@dmgc.org or 206-878-2145.
