Psalms 127:3 says that “Children are a gift from God.”

At Pathway we believe that the church should support parents and work with them as they do their best to raise their children in the way of the Lord. As such we constantly strive to create environments where children can learn about and experience God at an age-appropriate level.  We offer environments for children (birth through grade 5) during our Sunday Morning Worship.

Why we do things the way we do @ Pathway Kids

SAFETY – we want to ensure that the children of Pathway Church and our guests are as safe as possible.
EXCELLENCE – we want to create environments that are age appropriate and provide the best available care for them.
SCALABLE – we need to setup systems and programs that will be able to grow with the church.
FAMILY – we know that children learn best in age appropriate environments but we also want to see families worshiping and praying together. We will be looking for creative ways to combine both as we continue to develop our Pathway Kids programs

WE DO ALL THIS SO THAT: we might see our children growing in their faith and walking towards their heavenly father. Making disciples is central to the mission of our church and we believe it starts with the children God has given us.
