Your First Visit
God loves children, which means, we do too! We want every kid who comes to church on Sunday to leave knowing that God knows them, loves them, and leads them. On a Sunday, kids, birth to 5th grade will be welcomed with smiles, joy, and love by our incredible volunteer team.
Kids will:
-Learn scripture through Bible Teachers, videos, and memory verses.
-Be led by Kids Worship teams to sing and praise God.
-Engage in tactile crafts and group activities to learn Bible truths.
-Participate in small groups being discipled in a community setting.
-Be taught to pray to God who hears every one of their prayers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the check-in process for my child?
As a first time family, it will take a few extra minutes to get in the check-in system. A Connections check-in host will gather your child’s information. You will then receive a name tag for their child with a secure alpha-numeric pick up code. This pick up code also allows us to contact families during the service if necessary. The connections host will guide you and your child to the right classroom.
Who will be teaching & caring for my child?
We have adults and youth who love God and have been trained in the area they serve. They build relationship with kids and encourage spiritual growth by teaching the Bible, prayer, and worship.
What will my kids be taught?
We use a curriculum called Orange for all our kids classrooms. Orange combines the light of the church (yellow) with the love of the home (red) to create a strategy that connects kids and families to God. The curriculum content is Bible based while implementing bible verses, worship songs, activities and crafts surrounding the Bible story and theme each week.
What safety precautions are place?
Our Safety and Response Team monitor all kid hallways along with supporting staff.
Do you have a nursing room?
We have a nursing room located in the Early Childhood Area equipped with a TV in which the service is live-streamed.
What is your bathroom policy?
We encourage parents to take their children to the restroom before service begins. If the need arises during service, children will be escorted by volunteers to the restroom. If help is needed by a child, a volunteer must be at least 16 years old to help with restroom situations including diaper changes. We have hallway cameras and a safety and response team member overseeing all kids areas.
What is your sick policy?
For the health of all individuals and respect of others, if your child has a fever, cough, or runny nose currently or within the past 24 hours, please do not bring them until they are well. If during the time your child is with us, if they begin to exhibit symptoms we will contact you to pick them up to help keep a healthy environment.
