Kids

We want your kids to love church

and believe that kids of every age and stage can have a vibrant relationship with God. Our leaders serve your kids with meaningful lessons, games, music, and fun activities.

Sundays

We serve Bridge Kids ages 0 through 5th grade every Sunday! Check-in begins 15 minutes before the service (8:45am for the 9am and 10:45am for the 11am) and ends 15 minutes after the service starts. We are conveniently located under the Bridge Kids tent at the entrance of the church.

On Your First Visit: Look for the ‘new families’ sign at the Bridge Kids tent outside the main entrance. We will have a short form for you to share anything we may need to know about your child(ren) and your contact information. Someone from our team will then help show you up to your child(ren)’s age-based classroom. After dropping off your child(ren), you are welcome to find a seat in the worship center and enjoy service while your child(ren) enjoy crafts, activities, music, and a Bible-based, age-appropriate teaching of their own! Immediately following the dismissal of service, children are picked up from their respective classrooms. Simply have the security tag you received at check-in available to show our security team for pick-up. To maintain the safest environment for our kids, we ask that families do not send teens or minors in place of parents to pick up children after service.

Regular Sunday Check-in: Stop by the Bridge Kids tent as you approach the main church entrance to check-in. We’ll have a friendly face ready to check in your child(ren) and hand you a printed name tag displaying the best parent contact number (should we need to reach you during service) along with a printed security code. Parents are given a matching security tag to use for picking up children after the service. To maintain the safest environment for our kids, we ask that families do not send teens or minors to pick up siblings after service. Adult parents with their security tags in-hand is the way to go!

During Service: Should we need to reach you during service, we will text the parent number you provide at check-in. If there is no response, we will display your security tag number on the screen in the worship center.
