At KCC Kids, we believe your kids are not the future of the church; we believe they are the church right now! Our incredible team of volunteers are background checked, trained and prepared to give your kids – the church – a fun, safe and impactful experience each and every time they participate in a class or event hosted by KCC Kids. Through games, crafts, videos, stories, songs and more, your kids will learn Bible stories, important life applications, memory verses, easy to remember Bible points and so much more! Come check us out on Sunday mornings, Wednesday evenings or during special events! We value you and your kids and can’t wait to see you soon!
We have an exceptional nursery staff to take care of your babies and toddlers before the age of two in an environment that is developmentally appropriate for their needs. Our infant nursery cares for kids before they begin walking consistently with the utmost attention and hospitality. In our walking nursery, we sing songs, watch videos, play with toys, hear stories and learn how to cooperate with peers in an engaging environment. We know your young children all have different needs and schedules; just let us know how we can best care for your children and we'll work together to make it happen! Nurseries are available from 9:00a - 11:15a (or until service is over) on Sunday mornings.
Our toddlers and pre-K students learn through Grow Curriculum. This curriculum is exciting, fresh, engaging and, most of all, Biblically informative and spiritually transformative. Each Sunday, kids will learn a Bible story and a Big Idea through crafts, snacks, games, motor skill activities, songs and videos. In December, 2024, we will be learning the story of Jesus's birth through the theme “Christmas Vacation” and understanding the Big Ideas of: “God gives us what's best,” and “Jesus is why we celebrate!” After our 9:00a class, we encourage families to sit together and worship in service for a few minutes before our toddlers – Pre-K kids return to class for Kids Church! *During the month of December, we will not have classes on December 1 (Thanksgiving break) or December 22 and 29 (Christmas break). We hope you join us for service on those days!*
Our kids in grade school up through fourth grade use an adaptation of the Journey Land curriculum from Memorial Road Church of Christ and slap a little KCC Kids flare onto it. Each week, your kids will experience something different through our rotation-style curriculum. In the span of about a month and a half, they will hear historical context of a specific time or story in the Bible in HIStory, hear a story in Story Garden, play games to reinforce the stories they are learning in Base Camp Games, make something to help them remember a story in God’s Masterpiece, watch videos and understand a story through movies in Now Playing, and learn some of the basics in Bible Basics. From November 10 - December 15, we will be learning about the story of Abraham, Sara, Isaac, and Rebekah.
The students might call it a vibe; we call it KCC Kids 56. We know there comes a time when a student outgrows kids ministry but hasn’t quite grown into middle school ministry. KCC Kids 56 comes into that gap to create a chill learning environment where students can feel comfortable and engaged while participating in some in-depth text study applicable to 21st century life. From fall 2024 – spring 2025, our students will dive into the stories of Elijah and Elisha and understand what it means to be a spokesperson for God. On August 11, we are inviting parents to come to class with their students to meet teachers and get familiar with what is happening in class.
“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.” - James 5:17-18

Kids of all ages have classes on Wednesday nights during the school year, too! Classes for nursery, Pre-K, K-1st, 2nd-3rd and 4th-6th happen from 6:30p-7:30p! Wednesday nights give our kids a relaxed environment with loving volunteers that creates great avenue for friendship and mentorship. Whether through the Bible timeline or kid-friendly themed Bible studies or advanced applicable Bible knowledge or simple Bible points, your kids will be given an environment to grow spiritually and Biblically. Oftentimes, we will have dinner together before class starting at 5:45p. Check the events on the home page of this site to get details!
We put a high value on family time together in church. That’s why we create kids bulletins and provide praise packs for our kids to use during worship. We expect our elementary kids to be in church with their families and create intergenerational relationships with those around them. For our pre-K kids, we know sitting through worship for an hour can be especially difficult. After participating in the first few minutes of worship, we invite our kids 2 years – pre-K to join us in Kids Church! There, you can expect to sing, dance, craft, snack, hear a story from the Bible, play games, and more! We do our best to provide a learning environment most conducive to our youngest kids. In December, 2024, we will be hearing about Advent in anticipation of Christmas and understanding the themes of "Peace," "Joy," "Love," and "Hope." Head to the parent hub (parentskerrvillechurch.com) for complementary resources and more info! *During the month of December, we will not have kids church on December 1 (Thanksgiving break) or December 22 and 29 (Christmas break). We hope you join us for service on those days!*

Mr. Clark tells people he was born and raised in the greatest city on earth, San Antonio, TX, but it's pretty evident when he takes off his glasses that he's actually from Krypton and spends his spare time saving the planet. This ancient being graduated high school in 2011 and graduated from Lubbock Christian University with a bachelor's degree in children's ministry in 2015. After being a kids minister for 4+ years in San Antonio, Mr. Clark joined the staff at KCC in September 2019. As a kid, Mr. Clark knew he wanted to be involved in ministry (after his NBA career was over, of course). As an eighth grade student, he put his focus solely on kids ministry and hasn't looked back. There is nothing more fulfilling to him than seeing kids grasp the love and Word of God. When he's not hanging out with kids or flying around in his spandex saving the world, Mr. Clark loves all things sports. He is a huge fan especially of basketball, American football and disc golf. Married in 2015, Mr. Clark and his wife, Mrs. Maddie, have a four-and-a-half year old son and a two year old son. When he grows up, Mr. Clark wants to either be a professional athlete or switch universes and become Spider-Man. Mr. Clark's mantra is "Faith. Focus. Finish." and he has faith in, focus on, and longing for the day when the Kingdom of God finishes coming here in totality.
Mrs. Elsita was born in San Antonio but claims Kerrville as her home without any hesitation. She is proud to be a Tivy Alum. TFND! She has a very close-knit family; she is a proud wife for over 20 years to her "Super Man," Mr. Jason, and is an extremely proud mother of five amazing kids (Naomi, Ruben, Jaylin, Jazlyn, and Miracle) and one amazing son-in-law (Gilbert). Another one of her favorite titles comes from a three-year-old named Harmony who calls her "Glammie." Teaching "tiny humans" came to Mrs. Elsita naturally. She worked with kids through being a dance instructor for years (ask her to show you a few moves). After coming to KCC in 2015, she got involved in the kids ministry right away, volunteering at every opportunity. Fast-forward to 2020, and she was offered her "dream job" where she would get to implement her teaching skills to lead children closer to Christ. In her free time you can find Mrs. Elsita in the kitchen as she is a Mexican food enthusiast (well...just a food enthusiast!). She also enjoys just being outdoors with her family. As a kids minister, it is her number one priority to remind each and every kid to always "let your light shine" no matter where you are! On any given Sunday, you will catch a glimpse of Mrs. Elsita dashing by each Bible class to check on our KCC Kids Squad volunteers and students. During worship time, you will find her near the stage for Kids Church - where it ALL GOES DOWN! On Wednesday nights, you will catch her teaching and having some fun in our Pre-K class. Mrs. Elsita's life aim is letting her light shine so that others may see Christ in her. She eagerly awaits the day when she hears him say “WELL DONE!" Mrs. Elsita looks forward to meeting and walking alongside you and your family as disciples of Christ!
