Nursery
Infant — 2 Years Old
Babies and toddlers are in a constant state of wonder as they begin to experience and learn about God’s love. Our nursery is a soft, colorful, and safe environment that is consistently staffed with caring, background-checked volunteers who communicate and display God’s love to each child.
Preschool
3 Years Old — Pre-K
Our preschoolers (our littlest Hopers) gather in our Little Theater on Sunday mornings playing interactive games, experiencing live storytelling and engaging videos as a group, singing and dancing to worship songs, and making crafts to reinforce the Bible story.
Elementary
Kindergarten — 3rd Grade
Our K-3rd graders gather in our Big Theater on Sunday mornings where we're able to tap into the way kids are naturally wired to discover, so they can begin to experience for themselves who God is and how much he loves them. Lessons are given through a combination of small groups, live storytelling, Orange curriculum videos, innovative games, and high-energy worship songs.
4th + 5th
4th – 5th Grade
Our 4th + 5th graders gather in our Middle Theater on Sunday mornings for a unique experience made just for their age group as they learn how to transition from elementary to middle school. We get to dive deeper into Scripture and learn that what it says impacts their everyday world. Sunday experiences are given through a combination of meaningful relationships in small groups, large groups with live teachings, fun games, and dynamic and live worship songs. This ministry acts as a bridge where kids can find a place to belong.
Special Needs
Kids
Kids are paired with a trained volunteer called a "Buddy" for extra support throughout the service. They go to an age-appropriate classroom with their "Buddy" and our Sensory Room is available for respite. We offer individual and personalized experiences for each child’s needs. We also host a periodic “Parents' Night Out” and other sensory friendly events and experiences throughout the year.
Check-in + Safety
On your first visit, we’ll ask for 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 HOPE Kids database to help maintain our secure check-in system.
Your child’s safety is important to us. All HOPE Kids volunteers pass a background check, and we have a security team to ensure your child’s safety. We use a security tag system for child check-in and pick-up, and a paging system for parents/guardians in case we need to reach you during the worship experience.
