Building Incredible Kids
Would you like for your child to do more than just hear a story and make a craft when they come to church? Do you want them to have the opportunity to experience real spiritual growth? If so, HiZhouse was built with you in mind. Our goal is that by the time kids leave HiZhouse they will have a strong foundation in their faith and be equipped to live it out.
PRESCHOOL

Parent/Child Dedication
We take seriously a parent’s call and responsibility to raise their child in a home where Christian values and beliefs are taught and offer a service to celebrate their commitment to the Lord. There are two parts to our Dedication Service that takes place several times each year.
First on a Saturday a gathering of family and friends meet in front of the Creation Window in the lobby of our church. The service is led by the Children’s Pastor and includes scripture, a time for parents to commit themselves to the Christian nurture and raising of their child, a prayer, the reading of letters written by the parents to their child and a time of family sharing and celebration.
The second part occurs at the beginning of either the 9:00 or Ten45 Worship Service on Sunday. At this time parents and children are introduced to the church.
