Bible Fun for Kids…and More!
Concurrent with the 8:30am worship service
Kids start in the worship service with their family. Kids ages 1st grade and younger will be escorted to the childcare center for a Bible story and craft and supervised play on the playground. Kids ages 2nd grade and older can pick up a worship activity bag in the sanctuary lobby to guide them during the service as they worship with their family and church family.

KidsConnect
Concurrent with the 10:30am worship service
KidsConnect is our Sunday morning program for kids ages 3 through 8th grade. Kids start in the worship service with their family and are escorted to King Hall by their KidsConnect leaders. KidsConnect includes a ‘large group time’ for the Bible story and ‘small group time’ where kids are grouped with their peers to “go deeper” with engaging activities and games to reinforce the Bible story learning. KidsConnect is where kids discover how they can ‘live in faith,’ by loving God and loving others!
