Sunday Morning Kids' Ministry is now available during our in-person services.

Because we care about the health and safety of you and your children, we ask that you pre-register any kids who are 18 months to 3 years old.   Kids will be in the classroom for the duration of the service.

Register for the 9 am service here

Register for the 10:45 am service here.

Older kids 4 through fifth grade will be dismissed during the main worship service at 9 am or 10:45 am. Instead of checking in at the kids area, we ask that you bring your kids to service in the Sanctuary.

Kids will be dismissed before the sermon begins and will have  kid's message and activities in the Kids' Worship space.

You are welcome to bring your little one with you to in-person services. We also have a family room in the back of the Sanctuary if your child gets fussy and is in need a quiet space. We request only one family in the room at a time.

As a way to help our kids and families stay engaged and connected, each month we are providing monthly activity kits. Each kit focuses on a special theme and at least four activities (one per week) that you can do at home.

If you are local, you can pick up all the needed supplies for the weekly activities. And, even if you are participating from far away, the activity supply list and instructions can be downloaded using the links below.

Every Wednesday, at noon, we'll post a new kid-focused worship service. This is Schweitzer created video is designed for kids of all ages and includes interactive music, memory verses, a skit and Bible story. We'd also love for you to share this with your friends and their kids -- it's a great way to encourage someone today! 

View this week's service below.

Catch up with all the videos on the Kids Church page. 

We're tackling the rules for life in this month's Kids Kit! Download the activities separately or the whole kit here.

Fall is a fun time to dress up as characters. It's fun to pretend to be someone with character traits like bravery or goofiness. As we have fun this month, we also want to focus on the trait of integrity - or being truthful in everything we say and do.

We'll have activities to illustrate:

• Be truthful with your whole life
• Being truthful with God keeps you close to Him.
• When you're not truthful, you lose trust.
• Focus on what's true.
