First Odessa wants to partner with parents in laying a spiritual foundation for their children with the hope that they will one day be reborn and transformed.

We plan to achieve this goal through a combination of inter-generational and kid-specific learning opportunities that:

  • help kids belong to God and His Kingdom, believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, and become like Jesus
  • and equip parents to be the disciplers of their children.

To keep up with the KidMin, see below for our ongoing programs and make sure to text KIDMIN to 40778, follow our Facebook Group, and check out our Linktree (which includes our KidMin Calendar of Events).

Sundays

Bible Study Groups 9:00-10:15 am

Bible Study Groups for Children birth through pre-kindergarten meet in Preschool Park. Children learn a Bible story and participate in lesson activities to help them apply the lesson. BSGs for children kinder through third grade meet in the Sub Hub, fourth and fifth graders meet upstairs in the Hub. All children birth-fifth grade need to be checked in before heading to class. Parents will need to pick-up all kinder-fifth graders using their Guardian Receipt at 10:15 and take them to our Worship Service.

KidMin Nights 6:15-7:15 pm

During KidMin Nights, preschoolers through 2nd graders will be looking at the big picture of Scripture using “the Biggest Story Curriculum.” Our 3rd-5th Graders will take a deeper look at God’s character throughout Scripture where questions are allowed and transformed preteens begin owning their own faith! We also provide childcare (infants-threes) for parents attending Worship Rehearsals, any on-campus Bible Study Groups, or volunteering in our Wednesday Night Ministries.
