KIDSLAND

Loving and nuturing deeply

Children are amazing and fun! And we are crazy about each and every one of them! KIDSLAND is a place where we love and nurture kids deeply (L.A.N.D). That is our mission. But KIDSLAND is also a place where we recognize that kids are spiritual beings and in need of Jesus.

Our programming is driven by the overall goal of spiritual formation.

Our goals:

*How can our children become more like Jesus?

*How can our children know, love and obey God’s Word?

*How can our children show love and kindness to others?

*How can we equip parents to disciple their kids in the way of Jesus?

*How can the bigger church be a part of their lives?

Elements of spiritual formation are woven throughout all we do in KIDSLAND each year.

Those elements include:

The Bible Builds
Discipleship Directs
Words Work & Kindness Calls
Parents Pour
The Church Charms

MINISTRIES WITHIN KIDSLAND

NURSERY

Infant-Age 2

Nursery Information

Our church nursery provides a safe, nurturing, and faith-filled environment for infants and toddlers every Sunday. While you attend a Sunday School class or the worship service, your little ones will be lovingly cared for by trained volunteers who are passionate about sharing God's love with children. We believe spiritual formation begins even in the earliest years, so our nursery incorporates age appropriate songs, prayers, and Bible stories to help plant seeds of faith. Through gentle care and simple spiritual practices, we aim to support your child's growing understanding of God's love in a warm and welcoming space. We also have a mother and infant room located off the south transept of the sanctuary to use during Sunday School/worship services. We look forward to partnering with you in your child's spiritual journey!

THE TABLE

Family Ministry

What is The Table?

The Table ministry provides opportunities for families to deepen their faith through shared meals, Bible studies, service projects, and special events. Our hope is that The Table is a place where families come together to support one another, grow in their relationships with God, and strengthen their connections within the church community.

If you'd like more information about this ministry, reach out to Pastor Sherry Mitchell.

Homebuilders Class

Homebuilders Sunday School Class
9AM | Room 100 South

Each Sunday families are encouraged to meet together to study, explore, question, and enjoy the book “Habits of the Household.” Daniel and Laura Allen will be leading the discussions. Books are available for free.

CLUB 456

4th, 5th, & 6th Graders

Club 456 Information

We understand that upper elementary kids are often physically, intellectually, and emotionally different than both lower elementary and junior high kids. We created CLUB 456 to make a space for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders that understands their unique needs and builds a bridge to the next step of their faith journeys. Kids at this age begin to question everything they know. We remain right beside students, supporting, encouraging, and helping direct their faith. In Club 456, we have 3 goals for the kids: that they grow in their faith, be a light to others, and learn what it means to be a servant of God.

Club 456 kids have their own Sunday School class at 9AM. At 10:30AM, they join the elementary worship service and then meet together in small groups afterwards. They are provided with opportunities to serve in leadership roles during the service. They gather for fun events designed just for 4th, 5th, & 6th graders each month.

The morning includes a balance of individual and group activities that foster independence, concentration, and a love of learning. Areas of focus include practical life skills, language, math, sensory exploration, and cultural studies. Children also enjoy time for movement, social interaction, and outdoor play.

we are dedicated to keeping kids safe

Our top priority is the safety and security of your children.

BACKGROUND CHECKS & SAFETY TRAINING
We have taken every step possible to create a safe, secure, and engaging environment for them while they are being led in worship by experienced and qualified ministry professionals. All of our Kidsland volunteers have been screened and have had their backgrounds checked, in addition to having received training specifically designed for leading children in worship.

SECURE CHECK IN & OUT
Finally, our Kidsland area is always secured with the latest security measures on Sunday morning and Wednesday nights. When you bring your children to Kidsland, they will be checked into our security system and given a check-in receipt. This receipt must be presented in order for them to leave the Kidsland area at any time during or after service. Children will not be released to an adult without a check-in receipt.
