Welcome to ACN Children's Ministries!
Throughout Jesus' earthly ministry, He took the time to minister to kids.

Our purpose is to make Chirstlike Disciples in the Nations - starting with our children. Our mission is to lead children and their families on their journey of faith; helping them know Jesus, love Jesus, and share Jesus.

We believe in having fun, being safe, being creative, being relevant, being Bible-based, building life-long friendships, helping others build strong family units, and reaching out to the community.

We hope you will join us on this journey and become part of our family!

“A dark season passed over the land of Nincompoop and men's hearts had become selfish. In KNIGHTS OF THE RECTANGLE Sir Lost-his-Lance, Sir Round Sound and Sir Purfluous journey to battle for the hearts of men.

Clueless as to the true meaning of their journey and inspired by stories of David, the Knights learn they must have a willing heart and be ready, able, merciful and humble.”

Grab your armor and join the journey to see who will be chosen as a KNIGHT OF THE RECTANGLE!

March 14: A Knight is Ready : David fights Goliath. 1 Samuel 17:32-51
March 21: A Knight is ABLE : Saul is jealous of David. 1 Samuel 18:1-16
April 4: A good Knight is Merciful : David shows mercy to Saul. 1 Samuel 24:1-15
April 11: A good Knight is Humble : David, Nabal and Abigail. 1 Samuel 25:4-35
