Nursery - 4th Grade

Little Kids. Big Faith.

At Connection, kids are a big deal! They're not a distraction from church; they're a vital part of it.

ConnectKIDS is a safe, welcoming place where children from nursery through 4th grade can laugh, build friendships, learn about Jesus, and grow in their faith. Through age-appropriate worship, Bible lessons, and hands-on activities, kids experience God's love in ways they can understand and carry into everyday life.

A Fun and Safe

ConnectKIDS

At Connection, we don't just care for kids - we care about them. We believe kids matter now, not just someday, and we're passionate about creating a place where they feel known, valued, and excited to come to church!

A Place for Every Age and Stage

A Place for Every Age and Stage

ConnectKIDS serves children from nursery through 4th grade. Kids are placed in environments designed specifically for their age and stage, allowing them to build friendships and learn about Jesus in ways they can understand.

While kids are learning and growing, parents can attend the main service knowing their children are safe, engaged, and having a great time.

What a typical Sunday looks like

On Sunday mornings, ConnectKIDS comes alive with energy and excitement. Kids start by arriving and checking in, then move into spaces designed just for their age group, where they can connect with friends and settle in. Throughout the hour, they participate in worship, hear stories from the Bible, and engage in interactive activities that bring lessons to life. The goal of each Sunday is to create a rhythm of connection, learning, and playful engagement that keeps kids excited to return week after week.

Safety & Security

Safety & Security

Your child's safety is one of our highest priorities. ConnectKIDS provides a secure environment so parents can worship with a peace of mind. All volunteers are background-checked and trained to care deeply for children, and we have a secure check-in system in place. Clear safety procedures are followed in every classroom to ensure that kids can focus on learning, playing, and growing in their faith, while parents can feel confident leaving their children in our care.

Our Leaders

Someone from our team will help you get your child checked in and show you where to go. Check out the classroom, talk to the leader and if you have any questions, we are always happy to help! We can't wait to meet your family and help you feel right at home.
