Kids Quest Sundays
(Children’s SMall Groups, Worship Care, and Children’s Church)
Children’s Groups
Our Children’s small groups take place each Sunday morning 10am-10:45am. (Early drop off begins at 9:50am.) Our purpose is to provide a time where children can study the Bible and discover a God who loves them through storytelling, games, singing, crafts, service projects, drama, and other related activities. In order for lessons to be age appropriate, children are divided into small groups based in their age/grade.
Children stay in the same class for the entire school year. Promotion to a new age/grade level will happen in August of each year.
While children are in their small groups, we encourage parents to attend one of our groups for adults. For more information on our adult groups, click here.
Small groups for infants-5th grade are located on the first floor of our main building in the Children's Area. When you enter the main building through the Welcome Center, our volunteers will greet you and help you check-in on our computer system so your child will receive a name badge. Please pick your child up promptly at 10:45am so our teachers can also make it to the 11am worship service on time.
Below are our current age/grade level classes:
Infants - Room 120B, Nursery Staff
Toddlers (walkers) - Room 120C, Nursery Staff
Preschool 2’s & 3’s - Room 123, Claudia Bell, Kathryn Jansen
Preschool 4’s & Kindergarten - Room 121, Janet Hill, Melba Lehman
1st & 2nd Grade - Room 114, Courtney Branham, Lisa Wheelock
3rd-5th Grade - Room 116, Kathy Grubbs, Chris Mills, Angela Patton
Nursery Worship Care
During our 9am and 11am worship services we provide care in our nursery for children who are infants-PreK. Trained staff and volunteers will care for your youngest children while you are in worship. Drop off begins at 8:45am for the 9am service, and 10:45am for the 11am service. Pick up is immediately at the conclusion of each worship service.
While in Worship Care, toddlers-PreK will participate in an age appropriate lesson, games, and activities.
Children’s Church
While our Elementary-age kids join their parents in both worship services, we know that it is hard for younger Elementary kids to sit through an entire worship service. For our K-3rd grade children, we have Children’s Church.
Children this age will go to worship with their parents. They will participate in the first part of the worship service with their family. Then, prior to the sermon, K-3rd grade children may leave with our designated volunteers to go to Children’s Church. Look for the cue on the screens and and by the worship leader signaling for children to head to Children’s Church.
Children’s Church takes place in the Theater Room (Room 101) in the Children’s Area. Parents may pick up their kids here at the conclusion of the worship service.
While in Children’s Church, K-3rd graders will participate in an age appropriate lesson, games, and activities.
Safety & check-in
In order to keep all of the children and volunteers in our care safe, each child must be checked-in via our KidCheck system on the computer or KidCheck app. Upon check-in, each child will be issued a name badge, and the parent will receive a Guardian Receipt. Please hang onto this Guardian Receipt as this is your pass to enter the Children’s Area, and your pass to pick up your child. Only adults with a Guardian Receipt are allowed to enter the Children’s Area. Other adults and older students may wait in the Welcome Center.
If you are a first time guest, please go ahead and make a KidCheck profile with each child’s name by clicking the button below. This will save you time on Sunday morning.
We also recommend you downloading the KidCheck app on your mobile phone. You can access your profile and and electronic version of your Guardian Receipt from the app. (Note, Guardian Receipts only show up in the app when you actively have a child checked-in. For safety purposes, they also regenerate each time you check in with a security code different code.)
