Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At the Almond Branch we help children connect with God and one another. Through our curriculum, we teach our kids to be on mission with Jesus Christ, to know him personally, and to follow him in a community that encourages and supports their growth, and shares the good news.
Vision & Values
We trust that the Gospel brings peace with God and one another and transforms lives (Romans 1:16). We believe that children can not only experience the power of the Gospel, but also be equipped to expand God's Kingdom by bringing its joyful message to the world around them (Psalm 78:4, 6-7).
