There are lots of Santa Clarita Churches, let us tell you how Kidz Quest is different.

At Kidz Quest we believe the Bible should never be boring, worship can be really loud and good leaders always care!

Kidz Quest is the children’s ministry at Heart of the Canyons for children from the Birth through fifth grade. Kidz Quest is a ministry where children learn how to study the Bible, to worship through singing and to build quality friendships.

The concepts and principles which guide Kidz Quest are best described as a color–orange. Orange represents the idea that two forces working together will have exponentially more influence than either entity alone. For us, that means parents and the church is working together to make a difference in the lives of children so that we can do more together than we do alone.

There are three pillars to the Kidz Quest Children’s Minstry; they are Common, Connect, and Community.

A Common worship experience with parents called “it’s a BIG HOUSE”
A place to create Community with other children in our Sunday Small Groups

All of these events are designed to reinforce the virtues children are learning at home, because we believe what happens at home is more important than what happens at church.

Through this it is our desire to help children know, and love Jesus and to love and serve others.

Music is an integral part of the church. The Worship Team and the choir sings songs of praise that lift the heart. There is great emphasis on learning what the Bible has to say and what it means. The current sermon series is the book of Ephesians.

There is a Youth service and Sunday school for the children. The members and attendees at Christian Churches in Santa Clarita are taught to understand the purpose of God and how we are supposed to live our lives on this earth. Having daily quiet times, thanking the Lord for all that He has provided and worshiping Him and giving Him praise are all very important.

Those who are preparing for marriage are given guidance by the  pastors. Couples learn the purpose of marriage, the responsibilities attached to bringing children into this world and the way they have to be brought up in life. They are also taught that marriage is of course a serious issue and they should not take it lightly. The couples are made aware that they have to be loyal and honest to each other and protect each other at all times.
