Next Kids
Sunday mornings during our church service, we have fun and interactive programs for your children from newborn to grade 6.
Nursery
Baby Room - for newborn infants to walking
Toddler Room - for walkers to 2 year olds
In our nursery your baby or toddler will be cuddled, played with and cared for by our friendly volunteers. Our bright and cheerful rooms provide a safe and comfortable environment for your child. If you are new to our church, you are welcome to stay in the nursery until your child is settled.
When you sign in your child, you will receive a number. Should we need to get in touch with you during the service, your number will be up on the media screen in the sanctuary.
We also have a cozy area for nursing moms should they need to feed their baby during the service.
Preschool
In our preschool rooms children learn that God made me, God loves me and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. We have divided the group into two classes to provide age appropriate programming for these young people.

2&3 Year Olds
Through play centers, games, crafts, songs and Bible teaching, your preschooler will have fun as they learn about God and his love for them.
4&5 Year Olds
The older preschoolers have more structure to their mornings with worship and Bible teaching followed by application of the Bible lesson through games, crafts or other activities. Making new friends as they learn about Jesus and having fun is the highlight of the morning for our 4 & 5 year olds.
Elementary (Grades 1-4)
At Next Kids we believe that you can have fun while you learn about God and his son, Jesus. Elementary children join together for a large group worship time. Music (on the big screen in our theatre), prayer and an innovative approach to the Bible are always a part of this interactive time. Then the children are divided into small groups by age so that they can understand how the day's topic applies to them. During this hands-on time, they will participate in life application and memory verse activities as well as prayer. Our dedicated small group leaders are there to build relationships with the children and help the children build relationships with each other.
The Bridge (Grades 5 & 6)
Upper elementary kids have their own special program each week that is designed as a bridge between Next Kids and our youth program, For Youth. Through activities and discussion times as well as out of church events, these students learn about what a life of faith looks like and how to model that with their peers.
1Tim4Him (Apprenticeship Program)
1 Timothy 4:12 says "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith and your purity." The 1Tim4Him Ministry is for youth in grades 5&6 who want to grow in their walk with the Lord and serve the church. Our hope is that one youth (1Tim) at a time we will make a difference for God (4Him). 1Tim4Him apprentices have the opportunity to serve in various areas in Next Kids as they learn more about how God has uniquely equipped them to minister in the church.
Plan to Protect - A Protection Plan for Churches
We value the safety and security of your children as well as the reputation of our volunteers and staff. As such, we have a screening process that all volunteers and staff must go through in order to work with children and youth of our church.
Coffee & Play
Every Monday from 10-11:00am, join a group of parents and toddlers in our awesome play structure. Bring your own coffee and snack and meet some new friends.
