Clean

Our rooms are kept spotless.

Birth to 3 Years

Your baby will experience personal care from our well-staffed team. We keep our nursery rooms ready for your little ones with age-appropriate toys that are thoroughly cleaned between services. We also take time to love and pray for your baby each week.
In preschool, children start to engage more with their church experience, so we help them interact and build their faith through stories, crafts, and songs that give them Biblical truths. They also start to form relationships with other kids and their teachers.

4 Years to 5th Grade

Every weekend, your children 4 years old through fifth grade come to a GC Kids service where they experience dynamic worship and Biblical teaching. Together, they learn about the Bible and how to have a relationship with God, memorize Scripture, and have fun developing friendships with each other.

What to Expect on Your First Visit

Check-In

Your child is important to us. On your first visit, we need the following personal information: parent/legal guardian names, children’s names and birthdates, address, phone number and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for each child. This information is entered into our database to help maintain our secure check-in system.

Safety

All GC Kids volunteers pass a background check, and we have our own safety team to ensure your child’s safety. We use a security tag system for child check-in and pick-up, and a text message paging system for parents/guardians in case we need to reach you during the worship experience.

GC Kids

We exist to assist parents in their child’s spiritual development so that, in God’s time, the child will come to have a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We want to engage your family with Christ and live in community.

Safe. Known. Loved.

We provide a child-centered environment where children learn the Biblical narrative about the person of Christ, the role of the Holy Spirit and pursue transformation so that children can recognize His voice and heed His call.

We also believe that spiritual formation is dependent on a partnership with parents because parents are primarily responsible before God for their child’s spiritual journey.

With that in mind, we are honored to partner with families on their faith journey by providing inspiration, resources, and support.

We believe that to grow spiritually healthy families, parents must be equipped to be the primary nurturers of their kid’s faith (Deuteronomy 6), that the faith community needs to play a supportive role in this endeavor (Ephesians 4), and that we must remain dependent on the Holy Spirit to bring about spiritual growth and formation when and as He chooses (Philippians 2:13).

We believe the best environment for kids to learn is one that promotes safety and where a child is known and loved. Our role as parents and the church is to create environments that foster the work of the Holy Spirit in our homes and at church. We structure our Services around 10 environments that foster faith. These environments allow for encountering God, knowing God, and responding to God’s work.
