Connect KiDS
Our vision is to lead kids into a close, meaningful, and personal relationship with Jesus, equipping them to fulfill the Great Commission by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with a lost and hurting world.
At Connect KiDS, kids of all ages discover and develop a passion for God as they learn to worship God, respect others, and have fun. Through meaningful worship, engaging teaching, and fun-filled activities, kids are exposed to God’s Word every week. Kids are challenged to grow in their relationship with God, build healthy relationships with others, and live with purpose as they follow Jesus.
Nursery
Our nursery provides a warm, loving, and safe environment where your little ones are cared for with intention and prayer.
Each infant and crawler is welcomed by compassionate team members who take time to care for the practical needs of each infant and crawler following parent-provided instructions during snack or bottle-feeding times, and diaper changes.
Each little one engages in age-appropriate play that encourages comfort and joy.
Throughout their time in the nursery, team members speak God’s promises over each infant and crawler, reminding them that “the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4) and “You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength” (Philippians 4:13).
Early Learners
Our Early Learners area is a joyful, nurturing space designed especially for toddlers, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and PreK kids. In dedicated, age-appropriate classrooms, kids engage in meaningful play that is safe and secure, builds confidence, and helps them form meaningful friendships with one another.
Our amazing team lovingly facilitates snack time and diaper changes for kids who are not yet potty trained, ensuring each personal need is met with care. Kids experience an interactive Bible story, enjoy singing and dancing, and begin engaging in simple Scripture memorization. PreK kids participate in hands-on crafts that help reinforce the lesson in a fun and creative way.
Throughout their time together, our team members pray with the kids, and end the class by declaring God’s promises over them: “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4) and “You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength” (Philippians 4:13).
Elementary
Our Elementary area for Kindergarten through 5th grade is a dynamic and engaging environment where kids grow in faith and friendships.
Each week, with the guidance of our amazing team, kids participate in grade-level small group time filled with fun and creative activities that help them make practical connections to the Bible lesson.
After small group, they gather for large group time, where all elementary kids worship God through music, pray together, practice Scripture, and receive engaging, age-appropriate biblical teaching.
Kids end their experience by declaring our two promises: “Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4) and “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13).

Check In Process
We’re so excited to welcome your family! From the moment you arrive, our team is here to make your first visit easy, safe, and enjoyable.
When you arrive, let one of our friendly door greeters know that you’re new and have kids who would like to attend KiDS church. They’ll gladly point you in the right direction.
At New Here KiDS Check-In, we’ll gather a few details to help us create a VIP experience for your kid:
- Parent or guardian’s name and best contact phone number
- Kid(s)’ name(s)
- Date(s) of birth
- Current grade in school
- Any special notes or medical information our team should be aware of
Once your family is checked in, a New Here KiDS Host will walk you through the entire process—helping you print name tags, giving you a tour of the KiDS wing, showing you where your kid’s classroom is located, and explaining our secure pick-up process.
We’re happy to answer any questions along the way and want you to feel confident and comfortable every step of the process.
Want to save time on Sunday? You’re welcome to pre-register your kid(s) ahead of your visit!

Safety
At Connect KiDS, the safety and well-being of your kids is our number one priority.
All team members complete a background check and must be approved before serving. To ensure accountability and care, team members always serve in groups of two or more.
Our on-site security team actively monitors hallways, entrances, and exits, and the KiDS wing doors are closed after drop-off as an added layer of security. Every measure is taken to create a safe, secure, and welcoming environment for your family.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Who will care for my kids?
Your kids will be cared for by loving, trained volunteer team members who have completed background checks and multi-step onboarding process before serving. We schedule two or more team members in every classroom to ensure safety, supervision, and personal attention for every kid.
2. Is there a snack or mealtime routine for kids?
Yes! Depending on the age group, kids may have a scheduled snack or feeding time. Team members follow any parent-provided instructions regarding feeding or dietary needs to ensure every kid is cared for safely and comfortably.
3. Can parents stay or observe their kids?
New families are invited to tour the KiDS wing on their first visit to meet our team members and see the classrooms. For safety and security, after the first visit, parents send their kids into the KiDS wing who are then guided by team members to their classrooms.
4. How are behavioral issues handled with kids?
Our team members create a positive, encouraging environment for all kids and work to maintain a safe and respectful space for everyone. We understand some days can be hard and if behavior challenges, such as not following direction, struggling to listen, or disrespectful attitudes arise, our team works to understand what’s causing the struggle through one-on-one conversation and helps the kids learn boundaries.
5. How does the ministry communicate to parents with kids?
During service, if an immediate need arises, our team will send a text message to the parent’s cell phone number that is printed on their name tag. Team members also provide updates to parents at check-in and pick-up as needed. During the week, we keep families informed on lesson topics, special announcements, upcoming events or activities through our weekly parent e-mail.
