We have four classrooms on Sundays at both our 8:30am and 10:30am services: nursery (age 0-24 months), Preschool (age 2-5), Kindergarten - 3rd Grade, and 4th - 5th grade. We also host ResKids events for kids and families throughout the year.

Our Classrooms
Nursery (0-24 months) and Preschool (age 2-5)
Background-checked staff and volunteers provide care for your children during the full length of service. The kids hear a Bible story and participate in age-appropriate games, activities and crafts. The Nursery and Preschool classrooms open 15 minutes prior to each service and care extends for 30 minutes after the service concludes.
In the nursery, we’re encouraging families to share timeless truths through music. Tiny Hands: Hymns by Jessica Hiat will be available in the nursery—it features eight classic hymns like Be Thou My Visionand the Doxology, paired with vibrant illustrations for little ones to enjoy.
In our preschool classroom, we are using The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible. We focus on one Bible story each month with fun games, activities, and crafts to help kids learn how much Jesus loves them.
Elementary (K - 5th Grade)
Volunteers lovingly teach our kids the big picture of God's story, sharing how each story in the Bible points to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have two elementary classrooms : K-3rd Grade and 4 - 5th Grade.
We use The Gospel Story Bible curriculum to help kids understand how the Bible is one cohesive story with Jesus as the hero. We also love and recommend Jesus Storybook Bible , The Biggest Story Bible Storybook and Read Kaleidoscope Bibles, which are written at an elementary-aged reading level.
These classes begin midway through the service and kids return to their families during communion.

Safety
For the safety and security of your children, background checks are conducted on all staff and volunteers.
Parents must check-in their children (infant-5th grade) before worship at the ResKids registration table. At check-in, you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. If you are new we encourage you to register your child(ren) in advance to make the check in process faster on Sunday when you visit!
Please have your child wear their name tag and hold onto your parent security tag as you will need to show it in order for your child to be released back to you at pick-up.
If you are needed during the service, one of our staff will page you by texting the number associated with your child given at check-in. Please make sure we have your updated information.
