Next Gen

This didn't start with us and it won't end with us.

At Declare, we believe the next generation matters now. Our heart is to raise up resilient believers with a strong foundation rooted in Jesus.

Through Declare Kids, we create diverse, safe, and fun environments where children from 6 weeks through 5th grade can experience God’s love and begin building a real relationship with Him.

We communicate the message of Jesus at an
age-appropriate level through engaging teaching, worship, and meaningful connections. Our goal is to help kids know Jesus, love church, and grow confidently as they take their next steps in faith.

Every kid learns differently — and every kid deserves to know Jesus in a way that makes sense to them. Declare Kids+ is how we do kids ministry for children with special needs or behavior challenges: individualized support so every child can fully belong, not just attend.

That looks different for every family. It might mean a quieter space to reset, a buddy who walks alongside your child for the morning, or a leader who takes the time to learn exactly what helps your child feel safe and loved.

We partner closely with parents from the very first visit so your child can engage with the message of Jesus, build real friendships, and take part in everything Declare Kids+ offers. If this is something your family has been looking for, we'd love to talk before you visit — reach out anytime.

Declare Youth is a space for students in 6th grade all the way through high school to explore faith, ask real questions, and grow in their walk with Jesus.

It's a high-energy environment where students can build authentic friendships and feel confident being themselves.

Through practical teaching, worship, and intentional mentorship, students are challenged to live out their faith beyond church walls. Our focus is helping young people develop ownership of their faith, strong character, and a lifelong commitment to following Jesus.

We create intentional spaces where young adults can grow spiritually, build meaningful relationships, and discover how following Jesus shapes every area of life.

Check-in?

Check-in is simple and secure. First-time families can stop by our check-in area where our team will help you get registered. Each child receives a name tag, and parents or guardians receive a matching security tag to ensure a safe and smooth pickup process.

Which group fits my child?

Children and students are placed in groups based on their current grade level to help them connect with peers and thrive in the right environment. If you have questions about placement or transitions between ministries, our team is happy to help.
