Kids start their Sunday in small groups where they are able to connect with each other and their leader through activities. The activities and questions are strategically chosen to help set up large group time for maximum learning and great conversations. We believe that in order for kids to grow an authentic faith, they need community. Our small group leaders are committed to showing up consistently in the lives of kids so over time they can build a foundation.
Each Sunday we engage kids in a high-energy, interactive large group experience through worship, drama, games, object lessons, and Bible stories. We prepare lessons that are developmentally appropriate to make sure things keep moving and are interesting.
A new ministry just for 4th and 5th grade, The Bridge meets this transitional age group right where they are at! Large group worship, engaging storytelling. relevant truths and meaningful small group time are all packed into their Sunday morning experience.
Preschoolers love to discover new things! That’s why we provide fun, interactive learning experiences in an engaging environment where your child can learn about Jesus! We gather in a large group to worship with fun, catchy songs.
We know many preschoolers are learning the signals to know when a bathroom break is needed. Our preschoolers are able to use restrooms in their classroom and designated only for their use.
In early childhood ministries, your child will be loved on by some incredible leaders who understand that little ones can experience the love of God through sweet moments of playful interaction, fun songs and simple Bible stories. Meaningful lessons each month are focused around three truths: God loves them, made them and wants to be their forever friend.
We have a room set aside for nursing moms who would like some privacy. We have diaper changing stations set up in all of our early childhood rooms. Our leaders are trained in diaper changing procedures and you as a parent are welcome to use our stations to change your child, if you prefer.

From the moment you pull in the parking lot, you’ll notice lots of friendly faces eager to show you the way. Our door greeters will be happy to direct you as you enter the lobby.
Your first stop when you arrive is the first-time check-in stations. We care about you and your child, and so we’ll take some time to get to know you. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information.
Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. This coded sticker is what you’ll use to pick-up your child after service. Your child will only be released to the adult who presents this sticker.
Our teams are ready to receive your child as early as 15 minutes before service times.
While we want children to be happy and content in our environments, sometimes they have to work through separation anxiety until they are comfortable being away from family during services. If your child’s crying persists for more than 10 minutes, they are screaming or distressed, or they become sick or injured we will notify parents immediately through text message.
Every child matters to God and they matter to us! We do our best to accommodate children with special needs on a case to case basis by communicating with their parents. If you would like to discuss the best options for your child(ren) please fill out our Exceptional Kids Form.
We take lots of steps before kids arrive to keep them safe. Every toy and environment gets cleaned and sanitized. And, every volunteer is screened with an interview and background check. Our whole team — from staff members to small group leaders to safety personnel — are trained to keep your kids safe.
There is a place to indicate your child’s food allergies on their name tag. We only offer snack in our Early Childhood environments. A sign stating what is being served is posted at the check-in counter at each Early Childhood classroom.
