Partnering with Parents to 

CULTIVATE YOUNG HEARTS TO SAY YES TO JESUS

6 Months - Kindergarten

GO Kids begins by creating a safe, loving environment where children are known and cared for.

Infants and toddlers (6 months–2 years) are nurtured by trained volunteers with age-appropriate toys, Bible songs, and intentional prayer. Even at a young age, children are surrounded by God’s love and truth.

Children ages 2 through Kindergarten engage in simple, meaningful Bible lessons through crafts, memory verses, worship, and prayer, laying a foundation for knowing who God is and how much He loves them.

1st - 3rd Grade

In 1st–3rd grade, kids begin to connect God’s Word to their everyday lives.

Each week includes a Bible lesson, discussion, craft, memory verse, worship in the Sprouts Shout room (kids' worship space), and prayer. Kids are encouraged to ask questions, grow in understanding, and take ownership of their faith.

Our classrooms are located in the Portable with a dedicated Elementary Check-In, though families are welcome to check in at any station.

4th - 5th Grade 

Fourth and fifth graders are in a season of growth and preparation.

After checking in, students join the main congregation for worship before returning to their classroom. This helps them become familiar with the main service and see faith modeled by adults as they prepare to transition into 6th grade.

Weekly programming includes a Bible lesson, discussion, memory verse, worship, prayer, and hands-on activities that challenge students to apply Scripture to their lives.

Check-in is available at the Elementary Check-In stations.

Our heart is to provide a safe, creative, and fun biblical environment for children to have encounters with Jesus. We aim to engage children in interactive, age-appropriate Biblical truths that will reveal God's love for them and lead every child to a relationship with Jesus and others.

Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome! We can't wait to meet you!

Look for the bright red signs in our front parking lot for first time guests and stop by the tent up front. One of our kids ministry volunteers would love to greet you, help you check in your kids for the first time, and walk you to their classrooms.

At check-in, you will receive a parent pick up tag with a code. These tags must be shown at pick up to receive your child back after kids ministry. Please either wear or keep your sticker visible at pick-up. They will be checked and then matched with your child’s name tag upon pick-up.

You're welcome to drop off your kids 20 minutes before service starts (8:40 AM & 10: 40 AM).

If we need to reach parents during the service, we text them with the cell phone number on file. Please keep your phones with you during the service.

Activity Bags

Activity bags are available at the main entrances of the worship center to help occupy children who choose to attend service with their parents. 

Sensory Calming Room

If you have a child who needs to step out of service for sensory reasons, we have a special room set aside with a livestream view for parents and sensory toys and activities for the child. 

Nursing Mother's Room

This room is set aside with couches, a baby changing station, and a livestream feed for mothers with infants to nurse or care for their little one while still listening to service.
