CHILDREN & YOUTH

Welcome!


Jesus "called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.' "

-Matthew 18:2-6


Kingston Road United welcomes people of all ages, children, youth, and their families. Children and youth are at the centre of our life as a community of faith and we welcome you and all of your gifts and talents to every part of our community life. 

Kingston Road United Church is on the forefront of innovation with our children, youth, and young adult ministry. We have programs here at Kingston Road to join, as well as with community groups and fellow communities of faith in our city! Whatever your age, there is a place for you at KRU. A place to explore, deepen, question, and discern your faith.
