Our mission is “Joining Children on their Spiritual Journey.” The purpose of KidStep is to intentionally focus on ways we can help children spend time with Jesus on their own and experience God’s love so that we can help children from birth through fifth grade take next steps of faith.
Small groups, bible teaching, and singing are all part of what happens on a Sunday morning in KidStep. We are excited to welcome your children to a safe and kid-appropriate environment. We have a check-in and check-out process for security purposes. Look for the check-in stations to receive name tags and ask any questions you may have.
Dates to Remember:
No Elementary KidStep on July 7.

Volunteer Needs
We have a variety of volunteer opportunities in KidStep. To find out more information, answer questions, or test out any of these serving opportunities, please reach out to Jill Bennett, our volunteer coordinator. We would love for you to join the KidStep team!
**Summer Sundays - KidStep has a dedicated team of leaders who serve consistently during the school year. Each summer we ask KidStep families (parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles) to help us show appreciation to them by serving in their place. We make it easy by providing everything you’ll need to be successful in the classroom. This is a great opportunity to spend a KidStep Sunday with your kids. We’ve created a sign-up list with all the dates and times - please sign up today!!
**Sunday Morning Nursery is looking for loving volunteers to serve our cutest and most important guests! Each week we have three classes for babies and toddlers up to 3 years of age, and we need your help to keep our nursery open. This ministry is so important as it offers parents an opportunity to attend our worship service or a connect group without distractions. For more information or to sign up for a no-obligation test drive, please reach out to Jill Bennett our volunteer coordinator. Thanks for prayerfully considering ways in which you may be able to help!
Child Dedication
Child Dedication is an important part of the life of Hershey Free Church. We value our partnership with parents in joining their children on their spiritual journey. Our child dedication process consists of a required class for the parents held prior to the dedication ceremony. Please register for classes.
KidStep Parent Connect | Sundays | 9 AM | room 301
Each Sunday at 9 AM, parents of children who attend KidStep have the opportunity to connect for Bible study and fellowship. If you have not attended yet, or if it has been a while, we encourage you to come check it out! While your children are growing in their classes, you have a wonderful opportunity to spend time with other parents, growing together in discipling your littles.
KidStep Offering Opportunity: For this quarter, we will be giving to TVSeminary (Russia). TVSeminary works to translate Bible courses into another language for the online seminary. Let’s guide our children in the joy of giving to kingdom work!
KidStep Summer Social | July 15 | 7 to 8:30 PM
We anticipate lots of fun at our first KidStep Summer Social! Bring the whole family and join us July 15 for ice cream, outdoor games, and the opportunity to hang out with other KidStep families! This is an opportunity for KidStep families and new families from KREW to gather for fun and fellowship.
Since 1979, Hilltop Christian Nursery School, a ministry of the Hershey Free Church, has been welcoming children to learn, to have fun, and to grow in their knowledge of Jesus. We invite your family to join the Hilltop family as we work together to create a learning environment tailored to the age and developmental stages of our students. We believe a child is a total person, designed by God to be well-rounded and maturing in every dimension.
We believe that the experience of each child should be consistent with his or her individual stage of development and, therefore, learning should be achieved in a way that is comfortable and natural for him or her. This can be reinforced with Godly principles through daily experiences.
Hilltop Christian Nursery School serves children ages 3, 4, and 5. Children should reach the classroom age as of October 1st of the admission year.
