The Next Generation

The world is loud, and our kids hear all of it. We believe the best thing we can hand the next generation is Jesus. This year, Unleashed goes all in on our kids and students at all five campuses.

Our Unleashed Offering is Sunday, December 6

Birth–5th grade

SouthlandKids

Southland Kids helps children discover who Jesus is through fun, engaging, and age-appropriate experiences. Here’s what Unleashed makes possible for them.

Fifth grade is a turning point.

Kids are standing on the edge of middle school, and the questions get bigger fast. We want to meet them right there and help them step into middle school well.

A camp for our 5th graders

Through this year’s Unleashed Offering, we’re putting plans in place to start a camp just for our 5th graders. We’re working through dates and details now and will share more as it comes together.

The rooms they walk into

Long before they can say it, kids can feel it: this place is for me. Through Unleashed, we’re updating the spaces where our kids meet Jesus, so every room is safe, known, and ready to learn.

A Bible of their own

Every kid at all five campuses gets a Bible of their own, so they can keep opening God’s Word long after Sunday is over.

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

Camp doesn’t end when the bus pulls back into the parking lot. Every summer, our middle and high schoolers come home having taken their first step with Jesus, ready to be baptized, or determined to live out their faith at school and at home.

One week can change everything

Twice the camp scholarships this year

We want to double the number of camp scholarships Unleashed makes possible. Cost should never be the reason a student stays home.

Ready to dig deeper

This is where faith becomes their own. Every student at all five campuses gets a Bible of their own to bring on Wednesday nights, pack for camp, and keep reading at home and at school.
