Love God. Love others. Love church. Change the world.
Highland Kids exists to encourage kids to do these four things. Our awesome team of directors, teachers and helpers are here to make a lasting impression for God in kids’ lives. With thorough background checks on our volunteers and a great check-in/out system, Highland Kids is a safe place for kids to begin building their faith in Christ. Come check us out!
It’s important for kids to read their Bibles. Here’s a great song to help them navigate the Word of God. Kids Rock kids who memorize and sing this song to a Kids Rock leader will earn 100pts for the Rock Shop. The song is from The Bigsby Show.
It’s finally here! Amazing Family Race!!! August 5-7 bring your family out for an awesome time at Highland Church. Thursday register for the race, create a custom team logo, play carnival games, win prizes, eat hot dogs and cotton candy. Friday be ready for the race of your life as your family completes 10 Old Testament inspired challenges. Hope you’re ready to get wet with the Noah’s Ark challenge. Saturday come back for 10 New Testament inspired challenges. Beware: Fingerpaint may be present.
Some challenges will be familiar from last year, but there will be all new challenges as well. Young families are encouraged to participate in the stroller division. Prizes will be given away to the top 3 teams each race day. There will also be name drawings for family fun items. It’s going to be an excellent time for the whole crew. So come on out to The Amazing Family Race!
Fill out the AFR registration form and send or bring it to the office at Highland Church. If you have any questions please email Pastor Laura at laura@highlandag.org or give the church a call, 715-341-4640.
Wednesday, July 14 at 6:30pm come ready to be amazed by the extraordinary talents the kids of Highland Church possess. A donation will be taken to help raise money for kids’ Bible camp. It’s like two birds with one stone. You get to help kids go to camp AND be thoroughly entertained while you do. Not to give anything away, but some of the talents include piano, drums, jump rope and animal noises. Need I say more?
If kids are interested in participating in the show, auditions will be held June 20 and 27 after church. Sign up for an audition slot in the Kids Rock room. If kids are not available for either of the audition days, special exceptions can be made.
This will be a show you and your kids won’t want to miss!
Just found this website that is fantastic! It’s the Voice of the Martyrs for kids called Kids of Courage. It is a great resource for helping kids learn more about the persecuted church. If you sign up for their newsletter you can download about 15, 50 page magazines on different countries and Christians in those countries. Very cool. I loved the Beliefs and Activities pages.
What a cool way to learn about living life for Christ! There are even discussion guides so that families can talk about these things at home together. Check out Holsom Comics.
Kidz Blazt: Rock the World will be at the Kalahari again this year Feb 26-27. This is an event no 3rd-6th grader will want to miss!
Live youth band, Axis Infiniti, will lead in great worship times during the services. Special speaker DonB is sure to grab our attention and point it toward God during the services as well. In addition to the services there are over 25 classes to choose from that will help kids grow more in faith and ministry. On top of all of this, we’ll be at the Kalahari, with the world’s largest indoor waterpark at our fingertips!
If you’re a 3rd-6th grader interested in coming to Kidz Blazt or a parent wanting to help chaperone please contact Pastor Laura, laura@highlandag.org.

Sunday, September 6th Kids Rock will launch an all out investigation of the truth. Along with Mr. Trench and the Commissioner, kids will spend 12 weeks investigating 16 basic truths of Christianity. They will investigate various faith facts such as, “The Bible is the Word of God and His plan for me.” And, “With God’s help, I can become more like Jesus.”
All investigators, Kindergarden-6th grade, are welcome to join in Faith Case: Investigating the Truth at any time during the 12 week case to help us on our faith investigation.
The race has been run! And it was extraordinarily fun. If you don’t believe me ask any of the participants or volunteers! Amazing Family Race was a great experience for all involved!
