Kids ministry is available every Sunday for 6 months through 5th grade! When you arrive on a Sunday, check-in is available in the Lobby or upstairs. After check-in bring your child to their assigned classroom as shown on their printed nametag. After service they can be checked out at the same classroom!
Mobile Pass Check-In
We have updated our kids check-in to include mobile passes. This enables quicker and easier check-in for your family. Get you mobile pass on any Sunday at the elementary check-in!
Nursery
Our littlest ones are cared for in a safe and loving environment as they play and interact with each other. We have dedicated volunteers who create a friendly atmosphere that makes coming to church a happy time.
Early Childhood
Kids learn to better understand God and His love for them with a curriculum designed for their age. Our teaching style is interactive and includes learning centers that incorporate songs, games, books, crafts and more based on the day’s Bible lesson.
Elementary
Our goal is to help kids grow in their knowledge of God, His love, His Word, and His plan for their lives. Our Bible lessons help children explore what it means to live a daily life devoted to Jesus. Friendship with God and others is encouraged, and an opportunity for experiencing heart-felt worship is incorporated into every class time.
PARENT VIEWING ROOM & NURSING MOTHERS' ROOM
Our Parent Viewing Room is reserved for parents whose small children aren’t quite ready to attend one of our kids' classes on their own. Parents can listen to and watch the service while their little ones play with the toys provided. This room is located upstairs in the hallway near the elevator.
​
Our Nursing Mothers' Room is reserved for moms where they can nurse and change their infants while listening to and watching the service. This room is located upstairs in the hallway near the elevator.

What can I expect when I drop off my child?When you drop off your child, they’re stepping into a space designed just for them—filled with love, laughter, and learning! Here's what to expect: Nursery (6 Months–23 Months): Our amazing caregivers are here to make sure your little ones feel safe, cherished, and cuddled with love. Think lots of smiles, gentle play, and a cozy environment just for them! Toddlers (2–3 Years): Get ready for giggles and tiny voices singing! Your toddlers will make new friends, dance to worship songs, hear exciting Bible stories, and have a blast with crafts or games connected to the day’s lesson. Preschoolers (4–5 Years): Preschoolers dive into fun with playtime, followed by circle time—where they’ll sing, hear a Bible story, and share their thoughts. Then it’s time for creative crafts and games that bring the lesson to life. Snacks are always on hand to keep the energy up in toddlers and preschool! Elementary (Kindergarten–5th Grade): It’s a lively start with large group worship and an engaging lesson. But the heart of the day happens in small groups, where kids connect through thoughtful discussions, fun games, and moments to reflect on what they’ve learned.
