Kid's Church
After the worship time in our Sunday morning service , we offer Kid's Church downstairs.
In Kid's Church, our dream is to ...
W - win kid's hearts to Jesus, their teachers, and each other
I - integrate kids into Christian community
N - nurture kids' growth in a safe environment
E - equip kids to become passionate disciples of Jesus
S - send kids into their world to share Jesus
Teachers and Helpers We have an amazing team of approximately 25 teachers and helpers who love our great group of approximately 40 children. Each teacher and helper is expected to complete a criminal check and become familiar with the Kamloops Vineyard Kid's Church Safety Manual. We prayerfully consider each potential teacher and helper, and ask those interested to fill out a Personal Information Form. We pray that Kid's Church would be the "safest place on earth," a place where each child can be ministered to with the love of Jesus Christ in a real and tangible way. To the best of our abilities, we desire to maintain clean, kid-friendly physical environments, healthy and safe emotional environments, and fruit-filled spiritual environments for each child that visits or attends Kid's Church.
Nursery In nursery, infants and young children can enjoy play times, snacks, storytimes, crafts, and sometimes music and videos. There are always two adults (or one adult and one youth) in the nursery room.
Primary & Intermediate Our children rotate each week through various stations, including:
Child Sponsorship Our kids donate their spare change to help sponsor 5 year old Michael Malinga from Uganda.
Annual Events
Mother's Day Tea Party On Mother's Day, the kids celebrate their moms with gifts, tasty treats and tea. This is also an excellent chance for parents to get familiar with their kids' teachers, the curriculum, and the physical space we use for Kid's Church.
Year End Party in the Park Near the end of the school year, we all go to Prince Charles Park and have lots of fun games, crafts, food, and a few surprises. All ages are welcome and the parents are welcome to join us after the service.
Christmas Brunch Pancakes and all the fixings are just the beginning of a fun Christmas celebration on the second Sunday of December (during the morning church service). Here, the kids can demonstrate their talent in song and drama performances for the whole congregation.
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service For the five weeks prior to Christmas, kids light the advent candles and learn about the true spirit of Chrismas. On December 24th, they light the last candle at the evening candlelight service. Families join together to celebrate Jesus' birthday with song, prayer, scripture, and even a birthday cake!

Vineyard Missions Ministries
NEPAL: We have an extended family relationship with the Vineyard Church in the Himalayan region of Nepal and Northern India. Over the years, we have been privileged to partner with twelve Vineyard churches in this geographical area—all of which have been planted within the last ten years. Over the course of our early involvement with these churches, KVCF’s pastor has visited several remote mountain churches to meet with their leaders and pray for their congregation’s well being. We have also provided medical supplies and clothing to these remote village congregations, three of which operate small orphanages. In more recent years, we have undertaken to contribute to the financial support of Raju, Bawani, and their little girl, Elizabeth. Raju is currently the overseer of a church planting project in Kotgoung (a small primarily Hindi village near Kathmandu), as well as co-pastor of the Kathmandu Vineyard, the flagship church of the Himalayan region. We also assist in providing education opportunities for several members of the Nepal Vineyard community from children to young adults, and are developing a micro-banking arrangement with several small Vineyard churches as well. These enabling projects are helping our Asian brothers and sisters break free from generations of grinding poverty. KVCF’s lead pastor also visits Nepal and India once a year to teach at the Himalayan Region’s Vineyard Mobile Bible School which is dedicated to the task of equipping Vineyard Church leaders who otherwise would have very little formal theological, pastoral or administrative training. Pastor Don will be returning to Nepal in October 2008 to teach a course on the Inductive Bible Study Method. Also, each year the churches of Nepal and N.E. India host a gathering of all the Vineyard Family in the Himalayan Region. This year this event coincides with the timing of the Mobile Bible School—late October. If you would like to attend that event, a team of Canadian leaders and ministers looking to explore what God is doing in this part of Asia will be travelling there with Colin and Cynthia Lees from Kelowna Vineyard. For more information about these exciting mission ministry initiatives talk to Don and Judi Harrison, Jan Steffen, Dawn Schlivinsky, and Connie Smith, all whom have seen first hand the work our church family is carrying on in this distant part of the Kingdom.
