  • TeamKID: Kids in Discipleship

    For Kids in Kindergarten through 5th Grades

    TeamKID is a fun, high-energy ministry that encourages kids to know Jesus Christ and to grow in a relationship with Him.  That's why TeamKID ends with KID.  KID stands for Kids in Discipleship!  All parts of TeamKID - Bible stories, Scripture memory, mission activities, life application, and recreation games -  connect to teach life lessons to kids.

    TeamKID meets every Wednesday night from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and runs from the middle of August (after school starts) until the following May (when school ends).  

    For the 2023-2024 school year, the TeamKID curriculum was "Faithful Promises"! This study lead elementary-aged kids to discover the steadfast faithfulness of God through Old Testament promises. Children explored the details of the major covenants promised in the Old Testament and connect the bigger reality of God's faithfulness to their every circumstance. Through the covenants God made to Adam, Noah, Moses, David, and others, kids can learn the connection to the God of steadfast faithfulness, even when they are unfaithful, and see how all of God's promises are ultimately fulfilled in Jesus.

    TeamKID will be starting again in August of 2024. More information will be coming soon!

  • Upward Sports

    Promoting the Discovery of Jesus through Sports!

    Midway Heights Baptist Church became a partnering church with Upward Sports for the first time last winter.  We had over 80 kids in our community between the ages of Kindergarten through 5th Grades participate in our first winter Basketball/Cheerleading program that we sponsored from December 2022 through February 2023.  Registration started towards the end of September 2022 and the first practices took place in early December 2022.   Games started around the first of January 2023 and continued through February.

    The Upward Sports program was such a success, that we have decided to sponsor another basketball/cheerleading program in the winter of 2023!  Feel free to check back frequently for updates on when the next registration starts.

  • Vacation Bible School

    Operation Arctic - The Coolest Book on the Planet (2024)

    Every year we host a Vacation Bible School one week during the summer for kids who have just finished Pre-K through 5th grade. We have rotations including Music, Crafts, Bible Study, and Missions. This is a week filled with excitement and helps the children grow in their faith!  Visit our Special Events page for more information and to sign-up!

    We recently held VBS for 2023 during the month of July.  It was a great success!  We had over 84 kids register to participate!  Here's what the kids learned...

    At Zoomerang, the kids marveled at the unforgettable wildlife, culture, and beauty of Australia while exploring the wonder and value of life, from the lives of pre-born babies to eternal life in the kingdom of God. During this pro-life VBS, kids discovered that life is valuable. From the tiniest to the oldest, each person is made in the image of God—wonderfully designed to know Him and live for Him!

    We've captured a few moments for you below...

    This July 2024, we will be having VBS Operation Arctic! It will be a fun time learning about the "Coolest Book on the Planet!"
