Kids Ministry

We believe that learning about God should be anything but boring. That's why the elementary Children's Ministry is structured for today's kids - not little adults. We at Fairhaven are not building the "church of tomorrow." We are investing our time in the lives of kids to help them through their needs in today's world.

All ministry events are filled with games, lively songs, fun dramas, stories and videos - each centered in the Word of God. We welcome your children in our ministries.
