Give

We seek to create a welcoming environment to keep kids safe and to show them Jesus. We hope our kids feel seen, valued, and equipped with foundational gospel knowledge to prepare them for a lifetime of worship and missional living.

Your First Sunday

We know visiting a new church with kids can feel like a lot. Here's what to expect so you can relax and enjoy the morning.

  1. 1
    Check in at the welcome table when you arrive. Our team will help you get situated and walk you to the kids' classrooms, which are just down the hall from our worship space at West High School.
  2. 2
    Little ones head to their rooms — nursery (birth–2) and toddlers (3–4) are cared for during the full service. Kids in Pre-K through 4th grade start in worship with you and are dismissed for Children's Church before the sermon.
  3. 3
    Kids rejoin you before Communion so your family can worship together. You're never far — and we'll come find you if your child needs you.

Sunday Morning Programs

Birth – 2 Years

Nursery

We offer childcare for our littlest worshipers during the entire service. The nursery is in a classroom down the hall from our worship space at West High School.

3–4 Years Old

Toddlers

Our toddler room provides a safe, playful environment for 3- and 4-year-olds during the entire service with age-appropriate activities and gospel-centered care.

Pre-K – 4th Grade

Children's Church

Children's Church takes place during the sermon. Volunteers guide kids to the classroom for an age-appropriate gospel lesson, and then they rejoin their families before Communion.

5th Grade & Up

Worship with Family

We encourage older kids to worship with their families. Worship bags in the social hall include a kids bulletin, coloring pages, a book, and flash cards for the Lord's Prayer and Apostles' Creed.

Coming Summer 2026
