Kids Church
Children are deeply valued at The Gospel. Our heart is to see them growing in knowledge, character, and confidence, becoming all that God has made them to be, while joyfully learning, making friends, and truly enjoying this season of life.
We believe in doing everything with excellence and are committed to providing a safe, clean, and peaceful environment. We continually seek ways to improve, which means we are always learning, training, and growing to offer the best possible experience for everyone involved—our kids, parents, and Kids Church team.
From check-in to snack time to our cleaning procedures, every process is intentionally designed to keep your children safe, cared for, and happy.
Raising Godly Children
One Child at a Time
Our focus is on reaching the heart of every child and creating an environment filled with joy and peace. We strive to provide a place where children can encounter God and learn from His Word at every stage of life.
Within each age group, we teach both biblical and practical truths, intentionally building a strong foundation that children can grow upon as they mature.
When you arrive at The Gospel, we aim to make your Sunday as smooth and enjoyable as possible for every member of your family. Our team members are always available to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
One of your first steps will be our check-in process. Each child receives a printed name tag through our computer system, which includes a unique code linked to your phone number. This allows us to easily contact you if your child needs you during service—so you can rest assured you’re always just a text away. You’ll also receive a matching name tag, which you’ll use during check-out at the end of service.
From start to finish, our team will be there to support you every step of the way.
Our Minis may be small in size, but they hold a very big place in our hearts. Kids Church for our Minis is filled with love, music, movement, and snacks. At this age, learning and play go hand in hand.
Minis are introduced to Bible stories, enjoy life-building songs, and participate in age-appropriate activities designed to help them feel safe, cared for, and engaged.
For safety and allergy reasons, we ask that parents provide their child’s own snacks and diapers in their Mini’s diaper bag.
Our Littles are full of life and energy! Our heart is to help them grow up knowing the love of God and the truth of His Word. We keep lessons fun and engaging by incorporating plenty of hands-on activities.
We recognize that every child is unique and learns differently. With that in mind, our lessons are intentionally designed to reach a variety of learning styles.
Through crafts, games, movement, and interactive activities, we aim to spark understanding in each child. We believe life should be joyful and church should be fun too!
Bigs are curious, creative, and full of thoughtful questions. At this stage, we begin diving deeper into the Word of God and helping children build a stronger understanding of their faith.
Our lessons come straight from the Bible and are designed to thoughtfully address the questions Bigs are already asking.
They explore topics such as:
What is the Bible, and why is it important?
What is prayer, why should we pray, and how do we pray?
Who is Jesus, and what did He do and teach?
Everything we do is centered on pointing children back to God and His Word. Each lesson includes crafts, games, or interactive activities to keep learning fun while adding meaningful, hands-on experiences.
After checking in through Kids Church, our Gospel Youth group—also known as Supers—meets following the Sunday service announcements in our designated Supers room, located behind the sanctuary.
Growing up in today’s generation comes with many challenges and pressures. We believe church should be a safe place for students to bring their questions, wrestle with hard topics, and find truth. Our goal is to be a positive, steady influence and a consistent reminder of God’s love, truth, and guidance in their lives.
When Sunday service ends, simply make your way back to Kids Church. One of our team members will be there to guide you through the check-out process.
You’ll return the name tag you received at check-in, which corresponds with your child(ren). This helps our team ensure that each child—and all of their belongings—are safely and happily returned to you.
