Mission: To equip, empower, and encourage children and their parents by sharing the message of God's love and salvation. Goal: To use Gods message of love to reach young children and their families while incorporating literacy and early childhood education concepts that build Godly self-esteem, image and purpose; teaching young children who they were created to be according to the Word of God. The Kingdom Kids Foundation is a 501(c)(3) faith-based, nonprofit organization located in Columbia, SC dedicated to serving children and their families in the community and the surrounding areas. The foundation was birthed from the “Kingdom Kids: Speak Life Declaration Book Series." These series of books are biblically based and target several functional areas of child development. The first book in the series is entitled, “I am who God says that I am". It is filled with colorful stories that build self-esteem, image and worth in the early stages of children's lives. Just as early childhood education is essential to a child's growth and development, likewise is their “spiritual" growth and development more vital in the world we live in today. It is our belief that everything begins and ends with the Word of God! Each book comes biblically based with a training element for the Children, Parents and Educators.The Kingdom Kids Foundation seeks to use the biblical principles from its books, along with its focus on Early Childhood Education to teach and train children how to live a Christian life according to the Word of God. The Foundation will use the books concepts to build Godly self-esteem, image and character in young children. We further believe that parents and educators play a vital role in the rearing of young children. In an effort to empower children and those who take care of them, the Foundation will provide Kingdom Kids Book Tours and Clinics that will offer workshops, parenting classes, summer camps and professional development training for educators. Kingdom Kids Foundation will seek and acquire partnerships with churches, child care centers and faith-based schools and organizations in an effort to reach children in communities who may not have access to Christian education and parental support. The Kingdom Kids Foundation also seeks to use its ministry to reach children in low income areas throughout Greater Columbia and eventually throughout the 50 states and abroad. It is our ultimate vision to spread the message of God's love through literacy by having Kingdom Kids Books and Programs established worldwide.
