Hey Parents!
I want to personally welcome your family to our Saddleback Kids Children’s Ministry! What a privilege it is to serve you and your kids as we partner in their spiritual growth. I appreciate the opportunity you have given our Saddleback Kids staff and team of volunteer leaders to build relationships with your kids and to teach them spiritual truths in a fun, exciting and interactive environment that will impact their lives for eternity.
Check out this website not only to learn more about Saddleback Kids, but to discover some interactive tools to help you reinforce at home what your children are learning on the weekend. We strive to implement new and creative ways to resource you, the parent, in an effort to support your child in their spiritual growth. We value your input so please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if we can assist you in any way.
