Are you ready to grow the next generation of believers, because Anchor Kids’s ministry at North Haven is a special place. Children’s ministries help to create meaningful relationships within family units, within friend groups, and within the fellowship as a whole. Our Anchor Kids ministry includes a dedicated building just for Children’s ministry, with teams of volunteers that facilitate a nurse through 5th grade. We teach our kids about God at their level, play Bible games, and form friendships that last a lifetime. Many of our volunteers and parents went through Children’s ministry, here at North Haven and now faithfully serve in Anchor Kids.
