• KidZone

    KidZone is Family of Christ's Sunday education program for kids age 3 (and potty-trained!) through 5th grade that is offered on Sunday mornings with two time options:

    9:00 - 10:00 am
    OR
    10:30 - 11:30 am

    We are continuing to offer KidZone classes during both worship services because we want all families to be able to worship together every week at their preferred time and style. We are encouraging you to make worshiping together a priority for your family too! Either come learn at 9:00 am and worship at 10:30 or worship at 9:00 am and learn at 10:30 am. Kids may attend either class time and switch between the two. The same Bible story will be taught in all classes each Sunday.

    Options for adults during KidZone:

    • Adult Bible Study will be offered on Sunday mornings in the Gathering Room at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. Pastor Craig and DCE Mark Schoepp will take turns leading "Your Hope Story". Watch the trailer HERE. (If the link requires a login, go HERE to get free access to RightNow Media. It's great!)

    • Volunteer! We need about 8 adults, and up to 6 youth volunteers, during each KidZone class session to make everything run smoothly. Would you consider contributing your time and talents? Sign up HERE.

    KidZone classroom locations:

    • Preschool & Kindergarten - the large muscle play space in the learning center

    • 1st-3rd grade - Room 100

    • 4th & 5th grade - Room 175

    We are so excited that your family plans to join us this year! Please note that when completing the registration form below, parent/guardian information is completed before adding child information. Additional children from the same family can be added using the "Add Another Child" button.

    We will continue to use "Simply Loved" from Group Publishing for our curriculum this year.

    The first class session will be held on Sunday, September 15, 2024 and go through May 18, 2025.


    KidZone Registration

  • KIDS MINISTRY

    Our goal is to partner together to empower and equip children to be all that they are called to be. The KidZone staff and volunteers put all their energies into creating an experience that will share God's Word with the kids while encouraging them to grow in their faith walk. Equally important is our commitment to making KidZone a safe and fun place for kids.


    KidZone is a place where kids experience that God is a Great Big God, and they are each part of His Great Big Story! We love partnering with families to help kids grow in their faith walk and develop a lasting friendship with Jesus. Click on the registration link below for more details and to register. 


    Preschool

    As preschoolers take their first steps in their walk with God, they form core beliefs and attitudes that can shape their faith for years to come. We introduce preschoolers to who God is and what His love means to them. We strive to give preschoolers a first impression of God in such a way that it makes a lasting impression in their hearts.


    Elementary

    The elementary years are such an exciting time! Our kids are growing so fast and they learn more every day! They transform from being totally dependent on us as toddlers to becoming more independent little people who are thinking new thoughts and dreaming new dreams. What a perfect time to teach them about the God who made them and loves them! We want our kids to become more like Jesus through engaging in our large group lessons and making meaningful connections in our small groups.


    Safety

    We ask families to stop at our registration desk where they will check in or complete a registration from and make a nametag. For your peace of mind, our volunteers are trained, screened, and ready to share Jesus' love with your child.


    Special Needs

    We love to partner with families of special needs children and will strive to find the path to learning about God’s love for all children. KidZone Buddies are one-on-one pairings within a KidZone small group for students who need accommodations because of learning disabilities, physical limitations, or behavioral struggles.
