Kids.firstpreswasilla.org is the website for youth and children’s ministries at First Presbyterian Church of Wasilla, AK. We offer a variety of ministries to meet a variety of needs. Our mission is to grow and develop kids so that in God’s timing, they will be raised up into the abundant life found only in Jesus Christ! This incredible mission takes all of us. . . parents, pastors, teachers, and leaders. We design our ministries with the following core values in mind:
TRUTH-BASED
We believe that God’s word is foundational truth, and it is our heart to train every kid to use it as their guide, authority, and conscience in everything.
RELATIONAL
We believe that life-change happens best in the context of relationships. Gifted, godly, and passionate adults who exhibit Christ to children, their families, and each other will show kids how to do the same. This modeling will impact God’s Kingdom for generations to come.
ADVENTUROUS
We believe that church is FUN and that “it is a sin to bore a kid with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” Therefore, it is our commitment to challenge kids beyond the rules of church toward a vibrant growing relationship with Christ.
INNOVATIVE
We believe in inspiring kids to greatness by pursuing excellence in our programs, risking in our attempts to be innovative, and ruthlessly examining everything we do in order to remain biblical, relevant, and effective.
NURTURING
We believe that spiritual growth happens best in an atmosphere of emotional safety, physical safety and love.
