Nurturing Young Hearts to Flourish in Faith

Welcome to Kids Church!

Get ready for an unforgettable experience! Our team is dedicated to creating a space where children can encounter God's love, grow in their Kingdom identity, and have a blast while learning about Jesus. Plus, we intentionally create a safe and clean environment for your children.

Why Kids Love Being Here


AGE GROUPS

All of our age group classes are available during regular weekend services:

Nursery

Your little one will experience personal care from our team. We provide excellent care for babies and toddlers while sharing the love of Jesus through our compassionate team, age-appropriate interaction, and play.

preschool

An interactive Sunday school experience where your child can be active, have fun, and connect to God’s heart. We use Bible story videos, worship songs, activities, crafts, and group playtime to create an engaging and safe learning environment.

K — 5th Grade

We offer an engaging worship experience for kids to grow in their faith and discover the abundant life Jesus offers through our Kids Church theme, The Tree of Life! This fun and interactive program helps Kindergarten through 5th graders learn about God's love and purpose for their lives. Designed with families in mind, we provide curriculum and encourage parents to follow up on the weekend's lessons as children "grow and flourish" in their journey with Jesus.

WHat to expect:

Our dedicated Kids Team is ready to love and invest in your children!

First-Time Visitors

On your first visit, we need the following personal information which is entered into our secure database check-in system: parent/legal guardian names, children’s names and birthdates, address, phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, specific needs) for each child.

Want to save time and fill out the information before attending? Let us know you're coming!

Weekly Check-In

When dropping off your kids, you and your child will each get a sticker with a matching code in order to enter our secure area. If for any reason we need to reach you during the service, we will display your child's security code on the screen. Your security code sticker is also what you’ll use to pick up your child after the service.

SAFETY


All Kids Church volunteers pass a background check, and we have our security team on-site to ensure your child’s safety. When you check in, you will receive a security tag that matches the tags placed on your children. Please have your tag ready for the teacher at the door. Only parents and guardians with a tag will be allowed to pick up their children.

How We Teach Your Kids

At Kids Church, we help children grow in their faith and understanding of God through interactive worship, hands-on learning, and weekly activities. Kids are encouraged to cultivate their faith both at church and at home. Parents are equipped with resources to nurture their child's spiritual growth, and creative tools like online content and fun activities help keep the learning flourishing all week long.

growing in the garden


Each child begins their journey as a Seedling in the Tree of Life program, where they start to grow in their understanding of God's love and His word. Through engaging Bible activities, worship, Offering, and missions, they nurture their spiritual growth, becoming rooted in Jesus. As they continue to flourish, they are equipped to live out their faith at home and in the world, growing into young disciples who reflect His love.
