Get in the game with NazKids ⚾
  • We had an amazing Promotion Sunday yesterday and we’re gearing up for another school year of building friendships, learning about Jesus, and learning to take His Good News into the world! I can’t wait to spend the semester spending time with everyone and watching how God will show up in each of our lives!

Our NazKids ministry is built on the verse Luke 2:52 which says:

“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

Let’s commit to praying this verse over our kids this year!

See you soon!

-Pastor Kym

VBS Is Here!
Welcome to Rainforest Falls! 🦜🌴 Tonight is out VBS 2026 Kickoff and we couldn’t be more excited to learn about the Nature of God with everyone this year!Sign Up Here On Sunday Mornings from May 31st to June 28th we’re hosting VBS @ Mustang Naz. Each session will begin at 9:30 AM (check in begins at 9:20) and our NazKids will go through different stations of Bible lessons, games, crafts, snacks, music, and more! Parents, if you want to pregame the messages during family devotional time, our first week’s lesson highlights how God Created everything. Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Our prayer is that our kids will learn that God is very powerful and that they are loved by Him very much! We have an incredible crew of volunteers helping us facilitate VBS and are thankful for each and every one of them! Be sure to thank them when you see them! Don’t Forget! The Rainforest is unpredictable and we will want to have everyone prepared for whatever might happen! Dress in your finest rainforest gear instead of your “Sunday best” because we will have games that might involve water adventures!
