Welcome to St. Mark Kids
Kids age 3 to 5th grade are invited to be part of St. Mark Kids! Bring a friend and come have fun with others from West Des Moines, Waukee, Urbandale, Norwalk, Johnston, Des Moines, and more.
Wednesday nights start with large group games, a Bible story, and message. All kids are able to engage with each other and the leaders through fun activities to learn our weekly story.
Kids then join their small group with their leaders for age appropriate activities to form stronger peer connections through crafts, games, and diving deeper into the weekly Bible story.
St. Mark Kids meet Wednesdays, from 6:15-7:30pm in the Discipleship Center. Programming is September through May.

St. Mark volunteers receive background checks that are updated regularly through Protect My Ministry. This also includes training to help understand and prevent child abuse.
Children and parents receive matching printed tags and pick-up tags to ensure safety. The child’s tag identifies their age group, any allergies, and a security code, which matches the parent pick-up tag.
As a great way to help your child transition from you to programming, we serve pizza beginning at 5:30. You and your child can socialize with other families, eat pizza, and play games such as table tennis and foosball.
