Our mission is to make mature disciples of the next generation for God’s Glory. We do this by partnering with parents for family discipleship and by creating a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for children on Sunday Mornings.
Sunday Morning
9am - Childcare for Equipping
During the Equipping hour we offer childcare for children up to Preschool. Preschool includes children in kindergarten and under.
10am - Kid's Classes
During the church service we offer classes for children up to Preschool. Below are the breakdown of our classes:
- Babies and Toddlers - (0-3 years)
- Preschool - (3 years - Kindergarten)
*We have plans to expand our Kids Ministry to include children up to 2nd Grade. We are working hard to make this a reality and will communicate this change once we make it.
In all classes, we use The Gospel Project for Kids Curriculum
We have listening guides and coloring pages for children who worship in the main church service. You can find these in the church foyer as you walk in.
Safety
Check-in/Check-out
- Check-in for all ages is at the Kid’s Check in area located outside of the Kid’s ministry hall. Your children will get a nametag, and you will be given a tag with a code on it.
- At check out, the child’s parent/guardian may enter the Kid’s Area and must have the sticker with the child’s code
- If your child needs assistance, you will receive a text message at the number you provide at check in
Security
We take every precaution possible to maintain a safe and secure environment for your children. Here are some of the ways we do this:
- Every volunteer is personally screened, professionally background checked, and must have attended for several months before serving
- The entrance to the Kid’s hallway is monitored at all times. Volunteers are not allowed to be alone with children, especially in the bathroom setting.
- There is always at least one volunteer serving that is trained in CPR and how to operate an AED. We also have a dechoker on hand in case of emergencies.
