kids Ministry

Our goal is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ; teaching them to know God intimately, 

love Him passionately and to serve Him faithfully. We desire to build bridges to families and equip them. 

In the process, we are committed to enlist, equip and encourage others to do the same.

Our preschool class is a fun, interactive place where kids ages 3–5 learn about God through Bible stories, songs, and hands-on activities—perfectly designed for their age and stage.

A high-energy, church-like experience designed just for kids grades K-5th! Through worship, Bible lessons, and activities to learn about God in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way.


KIDS GROUPS

Kids in grades K–5th enjoy Bible lessons, discussions, and activities in a fun grade level specific small group setting designed to help them learn, grow, and connect with others.

 

REGISTRATION: 

All kids will need to have a 2025-2026 SafeCheck Registration Form on file in order to be checked into the Nursery or any Kid's Ministry classes. CLICK HERE to register online. We prefer that parents do not wait to fill it out on site, as this causes congestion at the Kid's Ministry Welcome Center.

 

ON ARRIVAL: 

The Kids Ministry Welcome Center is located in the main lobby. Here, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and volunteers who will assist you in getting your child checked in to the Nursery or their Kids Ministry classes. All kids must be checked in before heading to their classroom locations. We offer touchless check-in kiosks for parents using the Church Center App. This allows parents to pre-check their kids in through the app, then simply hold the QR code up to one of our kiosk stations where name labels and parent security tags will print. For parents who don’t have the app, our volunteers can check kids in from the Welcome Center as well. Cards with all pick-up/drop-off locations are available at the desk and someone will be happy to show you where to go.

  

CHURCH CENTER APP: 

Once we have received your SafeCheck Registration Form, your info will be entered into our system. After that, you will be able to download and use the Church Center App to check-in your kids on Sunday Mornings. Check out THIS VIDEO on how to set up the app, and THIS VIDEO on how to use the touchless kiosks.
