So glad you're here! We understand that kids (and parents!) can be nervous when they're someplace new. We want to make sure you and your kids know exactly what to expect when you arrive so that you feel confident and prepared.
infants & toddlers (3yr)
When you arrive, follow the path inside the gate and enter the first door to your left. There you'll find our PromiseLand Nursery for infants to three years. Simply sign-in and drop off your child on your way to the worship service.
Kids will enjoy story time, music, playtime, snacks, prayer, dance, and more! Just let us know if your child has any food allergies and we'll make necessary arrangements.
Worried about your child crying? We know first time visits are hard. But remember - crying is both normal and okay. We'll even contact you in the nursery pager if your child cries any longer than 10 minutes. Teaching your child that Mommy or Daddy will be back soon instills trust. We've got your back with experienced teachers. So, sit back and enjoy service while we take loving care of your little ones.
LIttle kids (pre-k & kindergarten)
Follow the path inside the gate and enter the second door on your left to find our Pre-K and Kindergarten classroom! Simply sign-in and drop-off!
We know these little ones love to learn and play, so we make sure to do both! With fun Bible stories that engage their minds and hearts, your kids will have fun while learning Biblical truths with their hands-on teacher and assistant! Various class time activities will include story time, music, activities, playtime, snacks, prayer, crafts, and coloring, too!
Worried about your child's first time? Leave your number on the sign-in sheet and we'll contact you if needed! Your kids are in good hands at PromiseLand! All teachers are experienced and background checked to ensure your child's safety. So sit back and enjoy service knowing your kid is having a blast learning about Jesus!
big kids (grades 1-7)
When you arrive, follow the path down to the last door on your left. There you'll find the big kids classroom for grades 1-7. Then, simply sign-in and drop-off!
Your kids will enjoy hands-on activities and an interactive Bible lesson to both build friendships and learn about God in a loving, fun environment. We've got games, costumes, and occasionally a treat, too! We hope your kids enjoy their time at PromiseLand and will feel accepted into the family the first time they come! Our teachers are fun, experienced, and love visitors. Plus, first-timers get to pick out a toy in our prize chest, too!
Why such a big age range in one class? We're a small church and our kids love to hang out together! However, we understand age differences mean different levels of understanding, so we do our best to suit all ages with our teaching and activity sheets that are each age-appropriate.
