The Gathering Loves Kids!

A safe place for kids to learn.

New To Kids Church?

Here’s what you need to know.

Kids are really important to us. We want our kids to grow up having loved going to church. But ultimately, we want our kids to grow up choosing to love and follow Jesus with their lives. That’s why we work really hard to create awesome experiences in Kidland each week. We feel incredibly privileged to have the opportunity each and every week to help shape and influence the next generation for Christ!

The Kids Church services are usually run by Karen, featuring stories and lessons from our “Kids Korner” series on Youtube, which you can watch by clicking here.

Each week, we provide worship songs, crafts, and activities based on our story. During our outdoor services in the Summer, however, the kids gather in the soccer field behind the courtyard, where they can play games with our student leader, Steven!

Kids Church is usually for children in Grades 1-5, but little ones from Kindergarten are also welcome! Please sign in your kids in at the welcome desk (the first table or tent you see coming in), and then bring them with you to the main auditorium where they can worship with you for the first part of the service – this is a great time for you as parents to teach your children how to worship!

Upon the kids dismissal, the kids will line up with a leader and follow them to their designated room or location.  At the end of service, they can be picked up and signed out from the gymnasium, soccer field, or wherever they are gathering. Each week, we will specify what room the kids will be gathering.
