Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t keep them away. The kingdom of heaven belongs to people like them.”

– Matthew 19:14 (NIRV)

Near the beginning of worship services, after the welcome and opening song, children are invited to the front for a brief teaching moment just for them. We close that time with the Lord’s Prayer, helping them memorize this special prayer that Jesus taught us.

After this time — during regular school months — children are  welcome to attend “Kid’s Hour.” This is a time of engaging lessons, stories, and activities designed just for them. All teachers are trained, background-checked, and teach in pairs. Classes are located just downstairs (accessible by stairs or elevator), and parents are always welcome to join to see what we’re learning. If you prefer your child to stay with you in worship, that’s perfectly okay too.

We also want to say this: children are always welcome in worship — wiggles, whispers, and all! Activity bags are available just outside the sanctuary with books, games, and coloring pages. The service is streamed into the gathering space and the classroom at the end of the hall, so if you ever need a break, you won’t miss a thing. We know Sunday mornings aren’t always easy, and we’re so glad you made it. You’re doing an amazing job!
