King’s Club
Come for Bible study, stay to play
We believe that every child is a son or daughter of King Jesus. Each school year King’s Club serves as a backyard Bible club at various low-income apartment complexes in Waco. Volunteer groups from the Baylor and Waco community have adopted these sites as a place to invest in Waco children, play games and lead a weekly Bible study. We currently have King’s Club at the Villages, Ashton Oaks and Waco High Historic Loft Apartments.
When: Saturday mornings, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Where: Either the Villages, Ashton Oaks or Waco Historic Loft apartment complexes
Looking to serve?
We are always looking for more groups to adopt sites! If you have a group that is interested in getting involved, please contact our Children’s Director McKenzie Lacy at [email protected] or call our office at 254-753-4900.
