Desperation Church

The mission of DC Kids is to see every child encounter God and experience a relationship with Jesus at an early age.

DC Kids is more than a ministry; it’s a leadership development program raising up the next generation of Christian leaders and warriors. Every experience is designed to equip kids to be bold, confident, and unashamed followers of Christ who live out their faith and make a difference for the Kingdom of God.
