Where little hearts discover they're loved by Jesus. Where kids discover they can make an impact on the world around them. This is GKIDS.
Ages 0 - 5th Grade
Where Kids Learn, Worship, and Make Friends
Sundays at 9 AM & 11 AM | Wednesdays at 6:30 PM
Every child who walks through our doors matters deeply to us – and to Jesus. From our secure check-in process to our background-checked volunteers, we've created environments where kids can explore their faith, ask big questions, and discover the amazing plans God has for their lives.

Clean, Supervised Environments: Age-appropriate spaces that are cleaned and sanitized
Every Age, Every Stage
Babies, Crawlers & Walkers
Your child will experience personal care from our well-staffed team. We keep our nursery rooms ready for your little ones with age-appropriate toys that are thoroughly cleaned between services. We have an easy-to-use form that you can fill out to let our team know the feeding, sleeping, and changing needs your child has.
Early Childhood
In the preschool to kindergarten stages, children start to engage more with their church experience, so we help them interact and build their faith through stories, crafts, and songs that give them Biblical truths. They also start to form relationships with other kids and their teachers.
Elementary
GKIDS is for children 1st to 5th grade. Every Sunday at GKIDS is an incredible experience packed with games, activities, exciting worship, and interactive sermon series. It is a place where they come to experience God’s love, and will want to keep coming back each week!
