Leading Children to Jesus
Creek Kids Children’s Ministry at Sugar Creek is a fun, safe place where your children ages birth to grade 5 learn about God and the Bible. Your kids will experience engaging, age-appropriate lessons each week that teach them about the Bible and what it means to follow Jesus. Watch this short video to see our Creek Kids ministry in action.
