Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. – 2 Corinthians 5:20

OUR MISSION

We exist to make Jesus known.

We believe a growing ministry means children and parents feel welcomed and safe while they develop a strong desire to be actively involved in the church body. Our goal is to balance fun with strong Biblical teaching that changes hearts and creates an earnest desire to seek a personal relationship with Christ. We hope to build lasting relationships with all members of the family, and to encourage and inspire each person toward a life of service to Christ and His kingdom.

OUR VISION

Hocutt Kidz and parents will seek to reach the hearts of our children so they allow Jesus Christ to transform them into His image.

Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; make them remember that His name is exalted. – Isaiah 12:4
