Kidzone!

KidZone is our morning children's program for kids from infant through 6th grade. There are three groups: KidZone 024 (ages 0 to 4), KidZone K23 (ages Kindergarten to 3rd grade) and KidZone 426 (ages 4th to 6th grade). Our KidZone groups allow parents an opportunity to come to church, relax, and know that your child is learning about God while having fun.

For children ages newborn to 4, "KidZone 024" runs in the Tree House Room, a brightly colored and fun room run by caring and dedicated workers during the entire worship service. If you want, your child can be part of the Bible lesson in the KidZone K23 class that begins just before the morning message during the worship service. With your permission, our workers will take your child to the KidZone K23 room and bring them back to the Tree House Room just before the end of the worship service.

For children Kindergarten through 3rd grade, "KidZone K23" offers friendships, snacks, fun and a great Bible lesson.

Middle School Policy

We recognize that many families are new to "doing church" and have junior high age children not ready to sit through the entire worship service.  KidZone is aimed at children up to and including sixth grade.  With this in mind:

1.  We have a great class for Junior and Senior Highs at 9 am.

In order to help middle schoolers transition into our main worship service we suggest:

6th graders are free to attend KidZone every week or stay in the worship service.

On the first Sunday of each month we have TeenZone for 7-9th graders during the sermon.  A great way to meet other teens!

We leave it up to the parents to help us in transitioning your children into the congregational worship life of our church.  We know that many churches offer separate Junior and Senior High worship services but we feel this is counter to the multi-generational worship of Scripture and is often geared toward entertainment and not worship.  The end result is a high drop out from church of youth once they finish High School.  Instead of introducing the idea that the main worship service isn't for teens, we prefer to plan our worship services with every age in mind, especially teens.

2.  All teens are encouraged to be involved in the ministries of our church, especially KidZone.  Get involved.  Don't just sit, SERVE!  Talk to a leader about how you can be involved in our children's ministries, worship ministries and everything else we do.
