"In my 25+ years as a building administrator, I have never seen a group of people have such a significant impact on a school in such a short period of time."

Jeff Erickson, Principal, Jefferson Primary School

"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not only welcome me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:37


Kid's Hope News



Our Mission:
KIDS HOPE USA builds caring relationships….one child, one hour, one church, one school.

Our Belief:
We believe in Jesus' way.

Our Values:

  • Children - because every child matters,
  • Relationships - because love is only possible person to person
  • Faithfulness - because if I say I will, I will
  • Prayer - because it is our language of hope.
First Baptist has partnered with KIDS HOPE USA to touch the lives of the children in need at Jefferson Primary School. These kids need us, they may not come in the doors of First Baptist, but we can walk across the street and love them. We have 28 mentors who meet one hour a week with at-risk students to help meet their emotional, social and academic needs by giving them a one-to-one relationship.

Each mentor has a prayer partner who is praying for the mentoring relationship, praying for the mentor and the student.

If you are interested in being involved in this exciting ministry as a mentor, substitute mentor or a prayer partner, contact the KHUSA Director, Peggy
