Welcome to KidCity!
We believe kids don’t have to wait to follow Jesus. God values and empowers the next generation, and so do we. Our goal is to connect children to Jesus and surround them with a community that encourages their faith while partnering with families along the way.
KidCity classes are available during both morning services, with check-in opening 15 minutes before each service. Families can enter through the left side of the lobby where our KidCity check-in area is located.
At check-in, each child will receive a name tag with a matching guardian tag. For your child’s safety, the guardian tag must be shown at check-out.
Our classrooms are located in two wings: one to the left of the main lobby and another behind the sanctuary through the Fireside Room. Check-out happens in each classroom, and we ask that one parent line up for pick-up to keep things moving smoothly.
A KidCity volunteer will also be stationed at the entrance of the first wing to help with check-out and answer any questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Kids are always welcome to join the main service at any time.
-
Yes! Snacks are provided. We maintain a peanut free facility. If your child has food allergies, you are welcome to bring a snack from home.
-
In order to be above reproach, KidCity has a hands-off bathroom policy. This includes diaper changes, clothing changes, or assistance with potty training. Nursery volunteers are not allowed to change diapers. We will alert a parent by text message if their child needs a diaper change or other assistance. There are diaper changing stations in the last stall of both the men’s and women’s restrooms.
-
Our check-in system will send a text message to the primary contact that was selected for the family during check-in that Sunday. It is important that the designated parent keeps their phone with them during the service in case they need to be reached.
-
Your child’s safety is our priority. We want parents to rest assured that their child(ren) are well cared for and safe while they are in service. We require a volunteer application and background check on anyone who serves with kids. There are always at least two adults in each classroom. And we have a secure check-out process to ensure children leave with the correct parent or guardian.
