LWM Kids & Youth Offer Age-Appropriate Bible Learning, Friends, & Belonging
At Living Word Ministries, we believe children and youth are not just the church of tomorrow. They are an important part of what God is doing today. LWM Kids & Youth is a Christ-centered discipleship ministry designed to help children and youth know Jesus, grow in God’s Word, discover the power of prayer, and learn how they can make a difference in their families and community.
LWM KIDS - SPROUTS
LWM Kids Sprouts creates a warm, engaging place where children ages 2–5 can begin discovering who God is and how deeply Jesus loves them. Rather than simply sitting through a lesson, young children learn through Bible stories, music, movement, crafts, play, and simple prayer activities designed for the way they naturally explore the world. Each gathering reinforces that God’s Word is true, that Jesus cares for them, and that they can talk to God through prayer. By singing, moving, creating, listening, and participating, Sprouts are invited to experience faith in ways that feel joyful, familiar, and meaningful. These early moments help children connect biblical truth with everyday life, while building confidence, curiosity, and a growing sense of trust in God. Week by week, LWM Kids Sprouts plants seeds of faith, creating a strong foundation that can grow as children learn, pray, ask questions, and discover what it means to know and follow Christ.

LWM KIDS - EXPLORERS
LWM Kids Explorers gives children ages 6–11 an engaging place to dig deeper into God’s Word and discover what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. Rather than simply learning Bible stories, Explorers are encouraged to ask questions, reflect on biblical truth, and understand how Scripture connects to the choices they make each day. Interactive lessons, prayer, challenges, games, service projects, and family activities keep children involved while helping faith become practical and personal. As they learn, participate, serve, and grow, Explorers begin developing godly character, stronger relationships, and a clearer sense of purpose. Each experience encourages children to move beyond simply knowing what the Bible says toward putting God’s Word into action. Week by week, LWM Kids Explorers helps children build a growing faith that shapes how they live, serve others, make decisions, and follow Jesus with confidence.
