We get it. Getting the whole family to church on a Sunday morning can feel like be a daunting task. You want your whole family to love coming to church, and our goal is to help make that happen.
From birth through 5th grade, your children will experience a safe, fun, and engaging environment where they can grow in their faith while you enjoy the service with confidence.
Because you're the greatest spiritual influence in your child's life, we're committed to partnering with you by helping make faith conversations a natural part of everyday life, not just something that happens at church.
Your kids will learn through the WonderInk curriculum, where every age group explores the same biblical truths at an age-appropriate level:
- God Knows Me
- Jesus Loves Me
- The Holy Spirit Leads Me
- I Am a Child of God
THE BIG MESS — VBS
The Big Mess is a fun, messy, and engaging 4-evening (+ a family night!) event that will teach kids — through messy experiments and games — that sin creates a big mess, but God’s love is faithful no matter what!
Here’s what to expect!
When you arrive, the first thing you’ll want to do is get your kids checked in! There are hospitality team members in the foyer who will be happy to lead you to our check-in station located in “The Link.” We also have a banner hanging above our check-in station to show you where to go!
If you’re checking in for the first time, we will ask for some simple personal information such as names, ages, grades, and contact information. You can also easily pre-register (HERE), at any time before you arrive!
Once your child is checked into our system, one of our team members will lead you and your child(ren) to their age-appropriate room!
Please note: we value your privacy and promise not to share your information with anyone.
Our Classrooms
LW Littles // Birth — 14mo
Your little one will be welcomed into a safe, loving environment designed to help them (and you) feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. Through simple Bible stories, play, and caring leaders, they'll begin building friendships that continue as they move into our Tots room.
(Need a quiet place to nurse or soothe your baby? A comfortable Mother's Room is available, complete with a TV livestream so you won't miss the service.)
LW Tots // 15mo — 35mo
Your toddler will grow in comfort and confidence at church while building friendships in a safe, caring environment. Each week includes a short Bible lesson, fun themed activities, and toddler-friendly worship songs that help them begin discovering God’s love in simple, meaningful ways.
LW Kiddos // 3yrs — Kindergarten
This is where your child’s faith really begins to become their own. Each week includes engaging Bible teaching and worship, memory verses, and hands-on activities like STEM projects, crafts, and games—all designed to help them discover how God’s Word applies to their life.
LW Kids // 1st Grade — 5th Grade
Your child will continue building a strong foundation of faith as they learn to stand confidently in who God says they are and who God is for them. Rooted in their identity in Jesus, the goal becomes for them to see themselves (not just grown-ups) as disciples who have a purpose in God’s Big Story, including sharing it with the world.
Each week, they start in worship with the adults, then move into their classroom for engaging Bible teaching, video elements, activities, a memory verse, and games to drive home the lesson.
Easy like Sunday morning? 👌
