NEO Kids Advance


Pastors Matt Angell and D’Anne Means have a variety of activities planned for Kindergarten through 6th Graders during NEO Advance 2017. Kids will enjoy age group services, small group experiences, music, interaction with and lessons from our missionaries, organized games, Bounce House, free play and more.

Kids will join their family or church family for lunches. If you want to have your kids join you for lunch on-site, be sure to either order a meal thru your church for Saturday and Monday or pack a lunch for them.  Also, be sure to feed them before arriving for evening services.


Pastors: Please fill out and return the anticipated childcare reservations form by May 30th.
