It's our hope that your child will LOVE coming to church!
At The District Church, there are three classrooms devoted to children: Nursery (infants and toddlers), Pre-K, and 1st--5th grade. Beginning October 16, 2022 we will begin renovating our Kids Ministry classrooms to make room for the growth we are experiencing in our Kids Ministry. 1st-5th graders are now meeting for Sunday services across the street at Franklin Elementary school and we are so thankful for the extra space for them to move around and be more active!
Each room has age-specific lessons and activities to keep kids engaged in the Bible. We believe that teaching children about their heavenly Father is crucial. Naturally, it should also be fun! There are at least two friendly and loving adult helpers in each classroom to make sure your child is a) having a great time, and b) totally safe.
The Nursery
The nursery is a fun and safe place for your infant or toddler to play while you enjoy the adult worship service!
Pre-K
Children have time and space to play together, listen to a story from the Bible, build crafts, and sing songs alongside caring adult volunteers!
1st-5th grade
Kids start off with games and fun activities, hear an awesome Bible story from the classroom teacher, and sing along with some fun, energetic worship songs!
KIDS MIN FAQ
Q: Are the volunteers overseeing my kid's classroom trustworthy? Have they been trained? Background check certified?
A: Yes, yes, and yes! We recruit adults who feel called to love on and teach kids about God. We don't allow anyone into the classroom who we don't trust or haven't passed a background check.
Q: Will there be a snack?
A: Of course! What is a kid's ministry without a snack?! There should be plenty of animal crackers and fruit snacks to hold the kids over till the end of service.
Q: Do I check my child into their classroom? Or do I just leave them?
A: There are iPads at the entrance to The District Church building to check your child into Kids ministry. A helpful volunteer will be waiting with a smile to assist you in the check-in process
Q: What are my kids learning when I leave them in their classroom anyway?
A: It's all about Jesus! Just like in the adult service, our kid's team is passionate about teaching Biblical lessons about Jesus! We want all children to know that they are designed and loved by God and that he has given them grace and hope through the gift of his Son, Jesus.
