The purpose of First Denton Kids is to partner with families in training up the next generation of fully-devoted followers of Christ. When children are with us, they experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they'll discover Jesus, connect with others and have fun.
Everything we do, from Sunday programming to classes and events, are all built around 4 Truths that we want our next generation to always remember:
