Kids at Access

Kids are capable of worship that is both authentic and playful.

That’s why:

  • Our Kids’ Ministry brings adult leaders as co-learners of the Jesus way with the children.

  • We are committed to emotional safety and prayerful attention to the individual needs of each child.

  • We are physically safe: volunteers are background-checked and follow a safety plan so that no child is left alone with an adult. Additional COVID protocols include a vaccination and masking requirement for Kid’s Ministry leaders. Masks optional for kids.

  • We are silly, and some of us are loud. God made us this way, so we own it!

How it works:

  1. Please check your child into kids’ ministry using our contact tracing sheet at the entrance.

  2. Kids start in the sanctuary for songs and prayers with the whole community.

  3. Students in grades K-5th who would like to go to Kids’ Group are dismissed before the sermon. (Younger kids are welcome to participate as well—it’s up to the family.)

  4. Our Kids’ Team will bring them back into the sanctuary at the end of the gathering, or you can go pick them up if you need to leave early.

Parents of Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers: Older Preschoolers usually participate in our Kids’ Group if they are feeling ready. For other children, there is an area on the side of the sanctuary with comfortable seating and toys for quiet play so that parents can hear the sermon.

Parents, we would love to hear from you, too. We are all learning and growing, and would love to hear how we can support you.
