Early Childhood
6 weeks – 5 years
It's never too early to start learning about God and His love for us! Our classrooms are divided by age beginning in the nursery and thoughtfully designed with age-appropriate toys and special service elements tailored just for them packed with kid-focused fun. Each week, they will enjoy stories, lessons, small group activities, and worship songs that impart Biblical truths. We know babies have specific needs and schedules, so when you bring your child to the classroom, we have an easy-to-use form that you can fill out to let our team know the feeding, sleeping, and changing needs your child has.

Elementary
kindergarten – 3rd grade
Our dedicated leaders teach our kids what it means to know God and grow in their faith. The Bible is brought to life through interactive teaching, fun games, energetic worship in a large group setting, and connection with kids their age in small groups focused on real-life applications.

Preteen
4th & 5th graders
We know 4th & 5th grade is a pivotal point in your child’s development. That’s why we’ve created a space just for them! Each Sunday is packed with some of their favorite elements of kids ministry while introducing elements that will prepare them to jump into our student ministry. Expect practical teaching, hilarious games, and life application small group discussions.

River Access
6 weeks – 5th grade
River Access offers a sensory safe space that allows children with exceptional needs or sensory accommodations to experience The Gospel. We are committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment and individualized care that allows all kids access to worship, ministry and fellowship with one another.

Frequently Asked Quesions
How do I register my kids?
First time, we are so excited to have you! When you arrive, stop by the River Kids Check-In Desk to register your child and pick up your tags. One of our River Kids volunteers will walk you and your child to their classroom. Your child will be given a name tag with a unique code, so you can be sure you’re the only one allowed to pick up your child after service. We want to make the check-in process as easy as possible!

How is my child kept safe?
When you check-in your child at the River Kids Check-In Desk, you will be given a unique alpha-numeric code on a pick-up tag that matches the code on your chid’s name tag. The only person who may pick up your child is the person who has the pick-up tag. All of our volunteers have been background checked, have references on file, and we’ll never allow an adult volunteer to be alone with your child. You can participate in the worship center assured that your child is having fun in a safe environment. If your child should need you during the service, you will receive a direct text message from our team.
