Adventure Kids
Welcome to Adventure Kids!

Most people who confess to know Christ as their Savior did so as a child. Therefore, we believe that children are a critical part of the church. We know that these precious children are ready to hear and experience Jesus Christ through the teaching of His Word and the kindness of our volunteers. We are so excited that you are considering joining Adventure Kids this Sunday. 

Nursery (birth-24 months*)
Our nursery is a place where children from birth to 23 months come to enjoy the loving care of our wonderful volunteers. We desire to encourage parents by nurturing their children. The nursery uses a digital check-in system to help provide security for your child and convenience for you.
*The 2 years in the nursery include children who will be 2 after October 1st.
Preschool

We provide a variety of activities to our preschool children in order to begin building foundations for faith. During this special time of development, we engage the children with interactive Bible lessons, playtime, and snacks. The preschool uses a digital check-in system to help provide security for your child and convenience for you.

Elementary (1st - 6th Grade)

The elementary years are when many children make a profession of faith. Our desire is to stir their love of Christ through a greater understanding of Jesus and the Bible. This occurs through our Sunday School classes at 9am as well as Blast Zone (1st-4th grade) and Team 56 (5th-6th grade) at 10:30am. See details below.

Our 1st–5th graders will also be given opportunities to practice thinking beyond themselves as they learn the significance of the gospel for their own lives and its implications for those around them.
