Loop Kids
Welcome to Loop Kids, Park Near North's ministry to children from birth through grade 5. At NN Loop Kids, we desire to see every member of the family come to know God and make Him known. It is our joy to come alongside parents, grandparents, and caretakers to help equip and encourage them to do the important work that God has called them to do—discipling their kids! To learn more about attending our NN Loop Kids program, please visit our website here.
