Children and Youth
“Our goal is to ignite a desire for a genuine relationship with Jesus within the hearts of children and youth, and to train and equip young disciples to live out their faith and bring glory to God.”
The mission of HCF Little Kids is for children to know how much God loves them and to enjoy following God and being with His family! There is no better time to establish a foundation in Jesus than the first years of a child’s life.
Nursery: Infants – 36 months, offered during Sunday service
Preschool: HCF Little Kids classes begin at 11:05AM after Worship
Teaching children to walk with Jesus, know His love, experience His presence, love His word, and listen to the Holy Spirit, is the mission.
We hope to impact your child’s destiny through a Christ-centered, application-based curriculum.

New to HCF?
Let us help you get checked-in.
On arrival you’ll find us ready to assist!
Each Sunday HCF Kids are checked in and assigned a ID Badge. This disposable label includes the child’s name and code, as well as any allergy concerns.
The person checking them in is given a matching badge. The child may only be released to the person who possesses this tag.

A graduate of Elim Bible Institute, Guerty is a gifted speaker, and has a passion for bringing the Bible to life through drama. More than anything, however, he is driven by a love for the youth and Jesus. Guerty is joined by various assistant directors and worship leaders who assist at the camps.
