The idea for the theme of the Kid's Church rooms came many years ago when we had taken the Children's Ministries Youth Staff from Lakeview Assembly to Disneyland. While we were standing in line for the Indian Jones ride we were talking about how awesome a Kid's Church would be designed like the Indiana Jones area at Disneyland.
Fervent Kids Ministries started with the Life Church when they were doing church out of a truck at a school. When the Home Church moved out of the warehouse on Murray Drive in Stockton it was a chance for the Life Church to call a building home. We had 30 days to convert the warehouse into a church with a sanctuary, kids church, and a nursery. The bathrooms were something else too. When drawing up the plans for the Kids Church, we finally decided on putting in an entryway and a bohimath structure over the stage.
We completed the remodel in 30 days and remained in that building for around 8 months. Then the Grace Assembly Building on Fremont St. became available to us.
When we looked at the facilities at Grace Assembly available to us we got so down. It was a bunch of really old class rooms with leaky roof. The building looked like it had been built in the 50's and abandoned in the 70's. We started clearing out the rooms, then decided to knock down a wall to make a larger kid's church area. During this time we kept spending a lot of time up on the roof trying to chase down leaks :) I wanted to have something in the room that didn't really belong in a classroom so we decided on building a stage.
