Creekside Kids 2

Here is what you can expect when visiting Creekside Kids for the first time:

When you arrive, enter through the side kid's entrance to the left of the building. One of our volunteers will assist you in checking your child and family into our system. We would be happy to answer any questions you have upon arrival.

Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: we value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone)

- parent/guardian names

- child's name

- child's birthdate

- home address

- phone number

- any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children

From there, you will be able to walk your child to their age-appropriate room. There they will experience teachings specific to their age group, have small group time, create crafts that go along with their teachings, and build relationships with other kids their age!

Before Service- One of our volunteers will assist you in checking in your child for Creekside Kids. After finding your child's name in the database, you and your child will be given matching name tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you hold onto the matching name tag for pick-up.

During Service- In the event that we need to contact you during the service, we will text the phone number that we have in the database. We ask that you exit the auditorium immediately and look for a staff member or volunteer who will direct you to your child's room.

After service- After the service is complete, you will return to the child's room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.

This class is one of our favorite things we have at Creekside. We are passionate about discipleship. That is why we wanted to create a class that allows our 4th-5th graders to really start making their faith their own. We want them to know how simple it is to follow Jesus and how when we do he can change our lives and those around us! We walk through teachings and have questions that feel more like our Student Ministry which keeps them engaged and allows them to process how to apply God's word to their lives. We believe it is so important for 4th-5th graders to be in an environment that gives room for them to grow in their faith. Our 4th-5th grade class facilities do just that. This class is a great place for your child to be equipped to follow Jesus. They also gain great friendships that will continue into their teenage years.

We are so excited to have our Creekside Kids camp this summer! Our kid's camp allows us to create an exciting atmosphere for kids to encounter Jesus and build community all while in their own neighborhood. Creekside members will host a 75-minute VBS-style camp at their homes for their neighbors. The camp will be facilitated and performed by a Mission Team, mostly of our own student leaders. Our aim is to help our Creekside members share the gospel of Jesus and build gospel-centered relationships with their neighbors.

Power Surge Sunday:

We are inviting everyone's kids and family that connected with us to our Sunday morning service where we will have a huge event to welcome all these new kids and families. We want them to know there is a place for them to belong to and through Jesus, a life in him, for them to flourish.

Nursery: Babies 12 weeks old from 2 years old will snuggle and play in our nursery! We have toys and books for our Nursery Team to play, read, and pray over your child while you enjoy the service. You're welcome to bring a diaper bag and bottle or feeding supplies if needed; you can always print an extra name tag sticker at Check-In so that you can label your child's bag!

Toddlers: 2 and 3 year olds have lots of fun in our Toddlers environment! We have lots of fun toys, along with a Bible lesson each week that includes a video Bible story, songs and games, and a coloring page. You're welcome to bring a diaper bag (or snack if your child has dietary restrictions); you can always print an extra name tag sticker at Check-In so that you can label your child's bag! Children in this environment are given a small snack.

Preschool: 4 and 5 year olds learn and play in our Preschool class! Our Bible lesson is complete with a video, songs, and games, which really start to "stick" with these kiddos as they learn simple memory verses and Bible story takeaways. Children in this environment are given a small snack.

K-3rd grade: K-3rd graders get the full worship experience with their lessons! At the start of our time together, the 4th & 5th grade class comes over to the K-3rd room for a time of corporate worship with a live set performed by a member of our Creekside Worship Team. After our time of worship and prayer, the 4th & 5th graders head back to their classroom so that the K-3rd kids can begin their lesson, which includes a video Bible story, songs, and activities. We are walking through the Bible chronologically together with The Gospel Project curriculum, highlighting key memory verses as we go!

4th & 5th grade: Our 4th & 5th grade environment is intentionally "set apart" for these young leaders and future middle schoolers! Their room is decked out with cozy "couches" and special snacks. At the start of our time together, our 4th & 5th grade class goes over to the K-3rd room for a time of corporate worship with a live set performed by a member of our Creekside Worship Team. After our time of worship and prayer, the 4th & 5th graders head back to their classroom to begin their lesson, which includes a video Bible story, songs, and activities. We are walking through the Bible chronologically together with The Gospel Project curriculum, highlighting key memory verses as we go! This environment offers space for more Socratic-style discussion and personal application as we discuss questions from the lessons as a class.
