KidsPort, Village View's Children and Family Ministry, is designed to win kids to Christ, help them grow spiritually, and reinforce the spiritual training that takes place within the home.  Children's ages forKidsPort includes infants through fifth graders. We believe the family is the heart of God's plan in His world.

At KidsPort we offer a fun and safe environment while meeting the spiritual needs of each child through a God-centered curriculum. Our children's team consists of people who have completed a security clearance check and who have a love for ministering to children. Security cameras are positioned in each of the children's rooms. Our weekend check-in system ensures proper identification and pick up from parents at the end of our services.
