AGORA Kids is the children’s ministry at AGORA. Two weeks out of the month we do an outreach event in one of our local housing projects: Alazan/ Apache Courts, Villa Veramendi, or the Cassiano Homes. We invite kids to join us for a fun program.

The other two Saturday’s of the month we do "Core Kids." This time is spent investing in a smaller group of kids, teaching character development, life skills and growing deeper in relationships with God and each other. Each event consists of hand movement songs, games, food, fun and most importantly a life relevant lesson that will help develop their character to become the best they can be!

The need in our area is great. Our area has some of the highest levels of fatherlessness, poverty, abuse, and lowest education rates. The need for a relationship based youth ministry is necessary to our community.

We will see life change in our youth by developing a team of leaders that will pursue the youth in our community where the youth are. They will serve the youth both emotionally and spiritually. Our heart is through our relationship based ministry to lead them to a personal relationship with Christ.

Fellowship:
Weekly Meeting/Small Groups – We focus on the youth and engage them, showing them God’s love. We do this by creating a safe place in our building and by the way we interact with each young person.

Relationship:
Knowing who God is – We have worship, teachings, and practical lessons that help direct the students to a relationship with Jesus!

Discipleship:
Mentoring the students – We walk through life with our students encouraging and showing them how their relationship with Jesus and their day to day lives can thrive.
