Kids Hope USA

Kids Hope USA gives church members an opportunity to model the love of Christ by building a relationsip with an elementary school-age child.  The relationship affirms the child while helping him/her learn to develop academic skills.  A prayer partner is identified for each relationship.  We enjoy a Kids Hope USA partnership with Winchell Elementary School, directly across the street from the church.  A Kids Hope USA mentor reads with one child, one hour, per week.
