Welcome to Kids Church!
Our desire is to incite wonder in the heart of your child about who God is and how great He is, while helping them discover what it means to have a relationship with Him and with others.
We offer programming for kids ministry at:
8:30 am: Birth - Preschool
10:00 am: Birth - 5th grade
11:30 am: Birth - 5th grade
These three things are at the heart of everything we do:
Safe and Engaging Environments
Each and every Sunday you will love knowing that your kids are safe as they experience great teaching and small group time with a trusted leader at our kids ministry.
Parent Partnerships
What happens in your home is more important than what happens at church. Because of that, our desire is to work with you to help influence faith and character in your kids. You can count on us for resources that will help you at every phase.
Committed Leaders
Every kid will have a committed leader at the kids ministry who will get to know them and you.

Welcome to Friends Church! We are so happy you are joining us. When you arrive please stop by guest central in our main lobby, we have small gift for you, and one of our leaders would be more than happy to assist you in finding where to check-in and drop off your children.
Every Sunday from 6-8pm students in grades 6-12 enjoy a time of intentional worship and teaching, small group discipleship discussion, food, fun activities, and even opportunities like open gyms to play pickleball, volleyball and other fun sports that kids enjoy. We encourage all other age groups to get involved in serving on Sunday mornings or to enjoy service with their family.
You can visit our Students Page for more information on opportunities for your teens to get connected to us.
Our Kids Ministry provides age-appropriate programming for children from birth through 5th grade. This includes dedicated spaces for Nursery/Toddlers (Birth–2 years), Preschool/Pre-K (3 years–Pre-K), and Elementary (Kindergarten–5th Grade).
Kids Ministry classes are offered during Sunday morning services. Programs for Nursery through Preschool are available at 8:30 AM, while full programming for Birth through 5th Grade is hosted during our 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM service times.
When you arrive, head to the Kids Check-In station. Our team will help you register your family, gather key details (such as contact info and allergies), and print security tags for parent pick-up.
Child safety is our top priority. All Kids Ministry volunteers undergo thorough background checks, and our secure, matching child-and-parent tag system ensures that only authorized adults can check out children.
We teach foundational biblical truths in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way. Lessons include interactive Bible stories, worship, creative crafts, and small group discussions that help kids know, love, and follow Jesus.
If your child requires your attention or assistance during service, our team will notify you directly via text message or by displaying your child’s unique check-in security code on the main sanctuary screens.
We strive to create an inclusive environment where every child feels welcomed and supported. Allergies and specific care needs are recorded on your child’s profile during check-in, and our team works closely with parents to provide proper accommodations.
For safety and security reasons, only background-checked volunteers are permitted inside classrooms during programming. However, parents are welcome to assist their child during the initial check-in transition until they feel comfortable.
Yes! Students in grades 6 through 12 participate in our Student Ministry programs, which meet for worship, teaching, small group discussions, and fun activities.
We are always eager to welcome new volunteers! If you’re interested in serving as a teacher, small group leader, or check-in assistant, you can contact our Kids Ministry Director, Sarah Arnold, or complete a volunteer application on our website.
