What is Kidstown?
Kidstown is the place where children can find purpose and community, and have a ton of fun as they learn about Jesus.
Every Sunday, babies through fifth-grade kids experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in an engaging and relevant way.
We would love for you and your family to visit Kidstown this Sunday. Join the fun and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level!

Your First Visit
Stop at the first-time check-in area just inside the main lobby. There, we’ll take some time to get to know you and your child. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information.
Then you and your child will each get a sticker with a matching code and someone will take you to your child's environment. If for any reason we need to reach you during the service, we’ll post your kid’s sticker code in the upper corner of the screen.
After service, head back to your child's environment and hand a leader your sticker to pick-up your child.

A couple more things you’ll want to know:
Safety
Your child’s safety is our number one priority. Every toy and environment gets cleaned and sanitized. And every volunteer is screened with an application process and federal background check. Our whole team — from staff members to small group leaders to safety personnel — are trained to keep your kids safe. We go to great lengths to ensure that each environment is a safe and enjoyable experience for you and your child.
Checking Out
The number on your child’s name tag and the number on your parent tag are unique each week and will match. During check out, our Kidstown leaders will ask for your parent tag before releasing your child to you. In the event we need to contact you during the worship experience, we’ll put your child's unique tag number on the side screens in the worship center.
Special Environments
Family Room
The family room is a place where parents with young children (3 and under) can watch the service together in a private environment designed with your little ones in mind.
The Ride Home
We encourage parents to keep the conversation going during the car ride home. Ask your child these two questions:
Did you have fun?
What did you learn?
Our goal is to have a positive answer to these questions each week.

Core Values
Our babies all the way up through our preschoolers learn three core values:
God MADE me.
God LOVES me.
Jesus wants to be my FRIEND forever.
Faith Skills
Our elementary aged kids focus on five faith skills:
How to Navigate the Bible
When we take a 60,000 foot view of the Bible, we begin to discover how God wants us to learn what He says and apply it to our lives.
Personalize Scripture Verses
When we personalize scripture we see how a biblical truth or idea plays out in our lives in a real way.
Articulate their Faith
When we talk about faith with others who also have a relationship with God, we can see God. Talking about your faith is a great way to discuss and examine God’s word with others who also know God. We can also share our faith with those who don’t yet have a relationship with Jesus.
Communicate with God
Through prayer we connect with God. We show gratitude for who He is and what He’s done. Through prayer, we can be honest, saying we’re sorry for what we’ve done and expressing how we’re feeling about what’s happening in our lives.
Develop a Devotional Life
When we read the Bible and listen to what God has to tell us through His word, we learn we can Trust God no matter what.
