We believe that Bible verse memorization is important for your kid's spiritual growth, which is why we've incorporated it into each area of Riverside Kids.
On this page, you can find the weekly Bible memory verses for Beginners (2 year olds), Early Childhood (3 years-K), and Elementary (grades 1-5). Kids recite these verses to a Riverside Kids' leader on Sundays to earn K-Kash to spend at our Kids' Kash Store, which is open once a month on RK Days.
