This program is a multi-sensory, hands-on program designed specifically for Babies and Toddlers. The kids sit in a chair around a semi-circular table with the teacher in the middle. As the lesson is taught, the kids are actively engaged and given lots of opportunities to touch, see, feel and hear. This amazing program gives little ones a very early start in learning about God’s Word and what it means to have a relationship with Jesus.

In the event that we need to contact you during Church, we will text you at the number you provided when registering your child. If necessary, we will also display a message on the screen in the Main Worship Center.

We ask you to keep your Child at home when you observe any of the following: fever, green/yellow runny nose, excessive coughing, vomiting or diarrhea, discharge in or around the eyes, or any other communicable disease.

If your child is being treated with an antibiotic, he/she should have received treatment for at least 24 hours before coming to class. For your child’s protection, we ask our Leaders to follow the same health guidelines.

For Birth to 5 Year Olds, room assignments are based upon your child’s age as of August 31st. This promotes better learning and safety, as kids are grouped with others of similar age and development.

For Elementary kids, their classroom at church will match their grade at school. So if a child is in 4th grade at school, they will be in 4th grade at church.

We encourage parents to give their child a quick hug/kiss, place them in their classroom and then head to their own Worship Service or class. While it’s tempting to linger, keep in mind that long drawn-out goodbyes actually increase anxiety in kids. Even if your child cries or is a little bit uneasy when you first leave, they will adjust quickly. Our leaders will welcome and connect with your child, and help him/her to calm down and get involved in the class.

A private room for nursing mothers is available near Room 103.

Every year, we invite families with babies born or adopted in the previous year to participate in Parent Commissioning. As a church, our aim is to partner with you in celebrating a new life, and equip you as together we build spiritually healthy homes.

Is your older elementary child asking questions about being baptized or following Jesus? Do they have questions about salvation or what it means to become a Christian? Or, are you looking for a way to get the conversation started? Then you may be interested in attending Next Steps for Kids.

Next Steps is an interactive one-session event designed for parents and children to experience together. Adults learn the tools to help them communicate the gospel to their children as they make their own decision to follow Christ. And Kids learn the simple truths about salvation in a fun, active class that’s full of object lessons, challenges, games, Scripture reading, videos and much more.
