Kids matter to God. At The Rock, we help your kids meet Jesus as kids. Each week we create an environment that uncovers how great God is, and how your child can follow him.

A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE GOSPELS ON CHRISTMAS

At Christmas, gifts are all around us, but we know the holiday isn't about the toys—it's about the joy of Jesus' birth.

They'll learn that Jesus is the savior God promised, how God sent Jesus at the perfect time, that everyone is invited to worship Jesus because Jesus brings joy to the world, and what it means to say Jesus is God's greatest gift.
