Welcome to Journey Kids ministry! Our mission is to partner with parents to make disciples who are gathering, growing, giving and going. We provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can grow in faith, build relationships, and explore God’s love. We’re excited to partner with your family on your spiritual journey!

What to Expect
Our kids programs are designed to make the Bible fun and practical for each child. We are passionate about pouring into children and walking alongside families on their spiritual journey. Our time on Sunday mornings includes worship, Bible lessons, activities, and games.
Upon arrival, find the Kids Check-In desk. There you will meet our volunteers who can get your child checked into our system, and then one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room.
BEFORE SERVICE:
Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):
- Parent/guardian name(s)
- Child’s name
- Child’s birthdate
- Child’s grade if applicable
- Home address
- Phone number
- Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children
All of this is done to ensure the safety and protection of your child. We take that very seriously here at The Journey Community Church!
DURING SERVICE:
Nursery: Nursery care is provided for newborn through 3 years old. Babies and toddlers will experience God’s love through the care and interaction of our trained and background checked volunteers. They will engage in Bible stories, songs, crafts and fun activities.
Preschool & Early Elementary: Our 3 year olds-2nd graders participate in large group worship. Then they divide into smaller groups for a Bible lesson and story-related games and activities.
Preteen: This is a unique age group as they transition from being a kid to being a teenager. This is where kids begin to own and defend their faith. Our group leaders pour into our preteens through worship, Bible story, discussion, games, and more. This group goes into worship with their families on the first Sunday of the month.
In the event that we need to contact you during service, we will text the phone number on your child’s name tag. We ask that you exit the auditorium immediately and look for a staff member or volunteer who will direct you to your child’s room.
