kids
In Good News Kids, we believe that kids are the church of now; therefore, we treat them as a priority and provide them with a safe and loving environment to help them take next steps in their walk with Jesus, trust the Bible as God's Word, and learn to serve in God's Kingdom.
what to expect
It can be a bit nerve-wracking walking into a new church, especially if you have young kids. We want your family to have an amazing and comfortable experience here at Good News, so you can count on the following:
-
Each Good News Kids team member loves the Lord and will love your kids!
-
Your child will have a fun, interactive, and rich learning experience about Jesus, the Bible, and who they are in Christ.
-
Safety is really important to us, so check out below for more details on how we keep kids safe while they're in our care.

THE SCHEDULE
What a typical Sunday schedule looks like for kids.
Before church, all kids have access to play in Recreations Outlet with parent supervision. Parents are responsible for getting their kids to the correct classrooms before services begin. Kids 6 months-pre-K have designated classrooms. Kids in Kindergarten-5th grade will begin services by worshiping with their families.
After worship kids in K-5th will head over to the basketball court in Rec Outlet and enjoy the Bible being taught in fun & creative ways. They will also worship with songs, play interactive games or activities that reinforce connection and belonging and can give to our GNKid’s mission project.
After worship, kids will then be split into multi-aged groups as they dive deeper into God's Word. This is a time when kids can participate in lesson-reinforcing activities such as group discussion and prayer.
safety
At GNKids all of our volunteers are required to pass a background check. Upon checking in, you and your child(ren) will also be given matching stickers. To help maintain safety, volunteers may ask to see your sticker at pick-up and ensure they match, so that we are connecting families properly.
Special Needs
ALL children and their families are important to us. If you are a family of a child with special needs we eagerly desire to create an environment that is conducive to the their unique needs.
Please reach out to our Director, Kerry Smith, to begin a conversation about ways to go about making worshiping at Good News Church work for your child's needs. It will help the process if you can fill out this form and email it to Kerry Smith.
