Gathering Kids strives to partner with parents in connecting kids to God by encouraging a heart-transforming personal faith in Jesus Christ through biblical teaching and relational discipleship.
Kids
Children are an inheritance from the lord.
Nursery
Nursery is available for 2 years old and under at both 9:30 AM (Bible Study) and 10:45 AM (Service). Nursery kids can remain in the nursery in between Sunday School and can be picked up after worship.
Preschool
Preschoolers will check in at the Gathering Kids kiosk before 9:30 AM, then go into Sunday School. During this time, they will build relationships with the Lord, one another, and their teachers through Bible stories, activities, discussions, and snack time. Pre-K kids may remain in their class between Sunday School and the service and can be picked up after worship.
Elementary
K-5th graders check in at the Gathering Kids kiosk before 9:30 AM, then go into Sunday School, where they learn about Christ through Bible study, activities, and group discussion. After Sunday School, parents pick up their children and bring them to the Worship Service. During the school year, kids are dismissed before the sermon for Children’s Church. In the summer, we encourage them to participate in the full Worship Service, so Children’s Church is not offered. At the conclusion of the service, all children can be picked up from their classrooms.
