RIVER KIDS
We are dedicated to providing engaging lessons rooted in Biblical truth, interactive learning activities, and intentional discipleship. When you join us for a weekend service, you can rest assured that your child, from infants to 6th graders, will be in a safe and nurturing environment. We invite you to explore each of our learning environments below, where your children can look forward to meaningful experiences and exciting lessons in every River Kids class. We can't wait to welcome you into our church family!
1st - 6th Grade
Elementary students come together to strengthen their understanding of the Bible and build Christ-centered friendships. Students participate in Bible stories and activities that are relevant to the message of the day. Each month we have a memory verse, Bible core truths, and time to help further their understanding and use of the Bible. Our goal is for every elementary student to regularly read their Bible, discuss with their families through our NextGen Family Devotions app, and apply it to their daily lives.
5 Years Old - Kindergarten
This class participates in a more structured experience that includes weekly Bible stories, crafts, free play, snacks, and a monthly memory verse. Our activities are geared towards ensuring every child understands that God loves them, God made them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever. Our goal is for every child to know that the Bible is true and unchanging and was written for each of them.
1 - 3 Years Old
This class provides a safe and loving environment for your little one. 1-3’s spend time in music, play, and small activities. Children will get to engage with their large motor skills while hearing Bible stories and learning how much Jesus loves them.
0 - 12 Months Old
Our infant nursery provides a safe and loving environment for your newborn to 12-month-old. All babies in our nursery receive 1:1 care and attention from our dedicated team.

BABY DEDICATIONS
Dedication is a ceremony in which parents, and sometimes entire families, make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God’s will and to raise the child to know and love Jesus.
