Your first visit
When you arrive, your first stop will be the kids check-in area. We want to serve you and your child well, so we’ll take some time to get to know you. We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information.
All elementary kid drop off and pick up will be in the Multi Purpose Room (MPR). Kids will be escorted to their age-specific classroom by their awesome leaders and be brought back to the MPR at the end of service.

Rock Solid is a seven-week discipleship course for kids (Kindergarten – 5th Grade) who want to dive deeper and learn about the next steps after salvation. We believe that each child can have a saving faith, it just looks a little different than yours or mine, and Rock Solid is an age-appropriate class that explores the fundamental beliefs of a follower of Jesus. In this class, kids have the opportunity to take part in a lesson that focuses on a theological truth. This class is only offered during the Community Group hour (9:30am). At 10am, kids who would like to participate will be dismissed from their large group, engage in a 25-minute lesson, then rejoin large group with their peers afterwards. The lessons are on rotation, so kids can jump in at any point.
Salvation – How does a person get “saved” and why do we need saved?
Key Verse: Romans 10:13
Worship – What is worship and what are some ways we can worship in our daily lives?
Key Verse: Luke 4:8
Bible – Why should we read and know God’s Word?
Key Verse: 2 Timothy 3:16
Holy Spirit – Who is the Holy Spirit and what is His role in my life?
Key Verse: Acts 1:8
Prayer – What is prayer? How is prayer powerful?
Key Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Witnessing – Why is it important to tell others about Jesus and how do we do it?
Key Verse: Mark 16:15
Baptism – How is baptism a picture and declaration of faith in Jesus to the world?*
Key Verse: Matthew 28:19
*Before your child gets baptized, we highly encourage that they attend all seven weeks of Rock Solid. During the class, they will have the opportunity to be sent home with a baptism permission slip.
