From the Children's Director:

Welcome to our HP Kids Ministry! 


We are so excited for you to plan your visit with us! Here at HP, we are committed to partnering with families to help children discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus. We prioritize creating safe and fun environments for babies through 5th grade and special needs. During each service, kids will experience God through worship, gospel-centered Bible study, disciple group discussions, and a ton of fun activities. We know that you are your child's primary disciple maker, to help them grow in their relationship with Jesus, and we’re here to support you in every stage of your child’s life.


If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Tammy Kirkland, at  Tkirkland@hilandpark.org

Blessed Expectations

Blessed Expectations is ministry designed to reach out to expectant parents. Our goal is to partner with you from the moment you find out you are expecting or adding a child to your family. We realize children are added to families in many ways such as through birth, adoption and fostering a child. Emotions, expectations and anxiety are all normal reactions in the months leading up to the arrival of your child. Blessed Expectations will come along side you and support you during this exciting time.
