KiDSCOR Children's Ministry
Equipping families to grow together on their journey to know, love and serve Jesus Christ.
Join us in KiDSCOR!
We love having guests and want your first experience at KiDSCOR to be awesome!
The first time your child participates in weekends at KiDSCOR, we suggest arriving 20 minutes before the service starts. When you arrive, stop by the KiDSCOR Welcome Center. To save yourself time before the service, you can pre-register your child for children's worship.

Upcoming Events

Oct. 12, 13, 26, 27: TIPS-MAPP Training
Saturdays 8 am – 6 pm, Sundays 1–7 pm
Resurrection West
One of the first and most important steps to becoming a licensed foster or adoptive parent is to complete TIPS-MAPP classes (Trauma Informed Partnering for Safety and Permanence – Model Approach to Partnerships in Parenting). This is the training class required by the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to be a licensed foster home in the Sate of Kansas. These classes are designed to prepare you to care for a child who may have experienced trauma and to provide you with many other supportive skills in your journey as a foster or adoptive parent. The class will also walk you through the further steps required to become a foster home.
Foster Adoption Network Lunches
Sundays, 12:30–2 pm (see dates below)
Resurrection West

Upcoming Lunch Dates: October 20, November 11, January 5, February 2, March 1, March 29, April 26
Serve Foster and Adoptive Families
We need parents who are not foster/adoptive themselves to help us with this ministry. If you are interested in supporting those on this journey, we have several opportunities for you:
- Care Community: Be part of a team that wraps around foster and adoptive families in our community, by providing once-a-month meals, lawn care, laundry or other household help.
- Meal Team: Our foster and adoptive parents meet one Sunday a month over lunch. Sign up to receive an email inviting you to bring a part of the meal.
- KiDSCOR Childcare Team: While the foster and adoptive parents gather one Sunday a month from 12:30-2 pm, a team of caring volunteers provides a safe environment for kids to connect and play.
To get involved, please email Christie Walker using the "Connect" tab above on this page.
