Early Learning
(Infants-Pre-K)
In Early Learning, we offer a fun, nurturing, safe place for your child to learn about Jesus while experiencing His love. We do this through Bible stories, play, crafts, games, music, and more.
Elementary
(K-5th grade)
In Elementary, we offer the same things you experience in the main service presented in an age-appropriate way. There is interactive worship, illustrated Bible teachings, lasting friendships, and small group experiences to help your children connect and encounter the love of Jesus.
The Clubhouse
KidTown Clubhouse is a safe, inclusive environment for children of all abilities to feel loved and included while learning how precious they are to their Creator. Your child’s unique needs will be met by our trained leaders as they learn about the love of Jesus through Bible stories and fun activities.
First Visit
When you arrive, head to Kidtown Station to register your family. We ask that you complete a new family registration form so that we can get to know you and your child. We’ll then get your child checked in, answer any questions, and direct you to your child’s class. If we need to contact you for any reason during the service, we’ll use the number provided to call or text you.

Information Gathered
To best serve your family, personal information such as birth dates and allergies are collected.

This information is used to better equip us to serve your child, ensure safety, and provide the best possible experience.

Check-in begins 15 minutes prior to the main service start time. We use a secure online check-in system that prints name tags and security codes. Each child will receive 2 name tags, one to wear and one for the classroom roster. These tags include your contact number, any allergies or special notes, and a unique security code. You will also receive a label with the matching security code that you will present at pick up.
