About Us

Gulf Kids is a vibrant children’s ministry where faith comes alive through fun, learning, and love. We provide a safe, fun, and life-giving environment where children can grow in their relationship with Jesus and discover their unique God-given gifts.

Our Mission

To recognize and develop each child’s gifts through practical application and empower them to impact the world with the truth of God’s love.

Our Vision: Equip. Develop. Train.

  • Equip the children with the Word of God • Develop them into world changers! • Train them to walk in purpose, power, and truth

Curriculum

We use the Orange curriculum, which combines child development research with Biblical teaching to help kids understand God’s story and their place in it. Each week features age-appropriate lessons designed to partner with families—so kids don’t just learn on Sundays, but grow in faith every day.

Parents can stay connected through the Parent Cue app, a powerful tool that offers simple ways to engage with your child’s spiritual journey during the week with prompts, videos, and memory verses tailored to each lesson.
