Hello from KIDNECTION! We are beyond excited for you to check out all the wonderful things we offer here at Saint Stephen, and we hope your family can find a place here!

Our vision is to connect children of all ages with Christ, have fun along the way, and show children how much the Lord loves them. We strive for children to know God’s word, identify themselves in Christ, and show how God works throughout their lives.

Please check us out on social media and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!
