~ Aloha Riders Kids Ministry: Your kids are invited to join an experience designed just for them! Kids Church occurs, at the same time as our Adult Worship Experience in our Multi-Purpose Building.
Our Dolphin, Whale, and Surf Riders meet in our Surf/Whale Riders Room in our Multi-Purpose Building each Sunday for our one-room Kids Church for ages 4 through 5th grade.
Our Honu Riders Nursery is for toddlers, 2s, and 3s. The Honu Riders Room is located in our Multi-Purpose Building. The Little Honu Riders Room, in the Worship Center, is for parents who wish to see and hear the service while caring for a young child.
~ Point Break Student Ministry: We would LOVE to offer a quality youth program for 6th-12th graders as well! We need some initial volunteers to help make that happen and some interested youth to participate. Let us know of any interest and we’ll make it happen as soon as possible.
