Redeemer Kids
Redeemer Church Rockford exists to declare Jesus and develop Jesus followers. Every ministry, including Redeemer Kids, exists to further this mission. We aim to unite church & home in declaring Jesus and developing Jesus followers among kids & families. To that end, we read, pray, and sing together as God's people. What we do on Sundays, you can support at home: learn the hymn of the month, read the books, review the catechism, and continue in prayer.
Memory Verse
Every Sunday, we go over a memory verse. You can help prepare your kids by watching the upcoming bible story and talking about the verse listed here:

Curriculum plan
In Preschool 2-4 we teach through our "In-house" curriculum. Each week we learn key stories from the Bible in engaging ways that make God's Word come alive to the kids.
In K - 5th Grade we use Crossway's "The Biggest Story" curriculum. Each week we learn a new Bible story, chronologically going through the entire Bible with the kids learning how the Bible is one big story, centered upon the person and work of Jesus Christ.
Prayer of Salvation
Titus 3:3-5 says, “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit."
When children understand that their sin separates them from God and has eternal consequences, and choose to seek forgiveness of their sin through Jesus Christ alone, here is an example of how you can pray together:
Jesus - I know that you made me and want me to obey you with all my heart. I know I have disobeyed and wanted to go my own way. I have thought and done things against your directions. I am sorry. I know that you gave up your life to save me from these sins and to make me your child again. I accept your promises and ask you to please save me now and forever. Amen.
Please let us know if your child has made a profession of faith by filling out this form. We want to rejoice and celebrate with you!
Hymn of the Month
4th & 5th Events
As your student enters 4th & 5th grade, we want to work to prepare them for their teenage years, building healthy community and friendships. We have special events designed to promote these relationships and to strengthen bonds as the student graduates into Redeemer Students.
Family Worship Sundays
On the fourth and fifth Sundays of the month, we have Family Worship Sundays. We believe that a crucial part of a child's discipleship is seeing the church worship, pray, and learn together. So on these last Sundays of the month, we provide childcare for infants-3rd grade, but the 4th & 5th graders attend worship with their families in the main auditorium.
