Desert View Kids is a place for children, birth through 4th grade, to learn about our amazing God and how much He loves them!    We provide fun, age-appropriate activities to engage kids and meet them where they are at on their journey to becoming life-long disciples of Christ.  Our staff and volunteer leaders provide a safe, welcoming environment where kids experience belonging and feel known.  We strive to partner with you as parents in your challenging role as the primary disciple-makers in your child’s life. Our ultimate goal is that all of our kids would grow to Live for God, Love each other, and Build God’s Kingdom!

Desert View Kids Explorers

Birth - Age 4 (& 5's not yet in Kindergarten)

Our three nursery classrooms (Babies, Toddlers, 2 Year Olds) are safe, fun environments for our little explorers to experience the love of God.

We have a classroom for potty-trained three year olds and another for our 4’s and 5’s who are not yet in Kindergarten. Both classes participate in directed free play, music, crafts, and games that reinforce the Bible story and strive to engage the sense of wonder that God has placed in our preschoolers.

Kids View

Kindergarten - 4th Grade

Our elementary program is designed to not only teach our kids about God and His amazing Word, but also to engage them in a way that will create true heart change.  Our curriculum takes the kids through the Bible every year, highlighting different stories over a three-year cycle.

Kids View Theater is our fun, high-energy, large group worship experience.  Our Kids View Worship Team leads the kids in interactive worship and our engaging, large group leaders use their creativity to draw the kids into our Bible story every week.

Our small groups are divided by grade level and our incredible, small group leaders involve the kids in a variety of fun activities to reinforce and go deeper with the large group lesson.  They also lead a time of interactive prayer to draw the kids closer to God and to each other.
