The Children's Church of Hope Chapel Tokorozawa, now known as Abba's Kids, grew out of a desire to minister to the parents as well as the children of Hope. The children receive instruction and love during their time with their teachers, but our main goal is to allow their parents to be able to focus on the Lord during the service so that they can grow in their relationship with Him. When the parents are strengthened in this way, they are better able to model God's ways to their children. Abba is the word for papa that was used during Jesus' time. The early Christians used this word in prayer to acknowledge their position as adopted children of God. Abba's Kids was chosen as the name for this ministry because it gives us a sense of family, and it acknowledges that our children ultimately belong to God. We are God's family.

"Assemble the people before Me to hear My words so that they may learn to revere Me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."　Deuteronomy 4:10
