Kids Gathering is a place for children to experience that God is real and that He wants to be a part of their lives. We provide a safe and fun environment for kids to connect to God and each other, while learning how to make a difference in their world for Christ. Our Kids Gathering Team is made up of caring and qualified individuals who are dedicated to creating a quality and exciting program each week.
Sundays at 9:00 & 10:30
Come early and enjoy our bounce houses and slide in the main lobby before checking in at our Kids Security Table. You will receive a security tag with your child’s name and assigned number that matches their name tag. If your child needs you at any time during the service, we will post their last name and number on the main screen.
We have age appropriate groups to ensure your child has the best experience:
- K-4 Kids (Kindergarten-4th Grade) Your child will join a group gathering where they will experience Biblical and life teachings in an interactive and fun multi-media production. Our Kids engage in high-energy worship, fun games and silly stunts, as well as quality small group time and community service projects.
- Preschool Kids (Ages 4-5) Your child will experience hands-on Bible stories, high-energy songs and worship, and fun and engaging themed activities.
- Toddlers (Ages 2-3) Your Toddler will enjoy hands-on Bible stories, songs, and fun playtime with our amazing leaders.
- Infants (Ages 0-1) Your baby will be cared for in a loving, clean, and secure environment by highly-qualified and compassionate adults.

The Bible is God’s Story and even though we can’t see God, the Bible tells us what He is like.
The stories in the Bible are one of the ways God shows us how much He loves us and how we can be friends with Him.
Come join us on The Ark as we learn to trust God to lead our lives! This week we will follow in the footsteps of Abraham as he follows God.

Changing Their World
At Kids Gathering we provide opportunities for service and growth for our Kids to make an impact in their community and their world.
Change4Change - Our Kids continue to make a difference with their Change4Change program. They collect spare change to donate to a ministry or non-profit of their choice. For February, they have again chosen to support Samaritan’s Purse, which will provide goats and chicks to a malnourished family living in poverty. Kids can bring their donations to their Kids Gathering group or visit the Change4Change table in the lobby each Sunday
KIDServe - opportunities for families to serve our community with their kids. Kid-friendly projects range from volunteering in local food banks to visiting nursing homes. Click here for our next KIDServe event!
