Children’s Ministry

AWANA

Jesus said,
"Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

Dogwood Hills Children's Ministry has three main arms. Yeah, it has three arms, but kids like it that way. The three arms are our Wednesday night DH Kids program, Sunday Morning Bible Study, and Children's Church. In addition to these arms, we have some other supporting limbs such as VBS (vacation bible school), preteen camp, and other events.

All of our children's ministry workers and student ministry workers must be approved by church staff and must pass a nationwide criminal and sex offender background check.
