K.I.D.S. Stamp Program (Kids into Discipleship & Stewardship)

One way young people actively support ministry is through the K.I.D.S. Stamp Program. How? Children purchase stamps (for $1 or $.25) that can be exchanged for investments in a Texas CEF account upon the completion of a stamp booklet. Hundreds of young people are participating in the ministry, learning biblical stewardship principles, and saving for the future. For more information, or to start a K.I.D.S. Stamp Program at your church, click here.
