Loving kids the way Jesus does

Kids are super important to God, and to us! Our goal is to love kids the way Jesus does and to lead them, in partnership with their parents and guardians, to know God and His Word.
Safari Kids is our ministry for children from birth through 6th grade. We've created an exciting place for kids to discover the wonder of God and the life He has for them. Our mentors and teachers love serving this generation, and we'd be honored to have your kids go on safari with us!
We believe that doing this in a safe, fun and engaging way will shape the next generation for a lifetime.

Your first Sunday

What to expect on Sunday

We can't wait to meet your kids and learn how we can best serve your family!
1
When you arrive, come into the Courtyard and find the registration room, right below the big Safari Kids sign.
2
Check your kids in there. Each kid will be given a name tag sticker. And you'll get a security sticker: hang on to it, because you'll use it to pick them up.
3
Take kids from birth through 2nd grade to their classrooms. Kids in 3rd – 6th grade come into the Sanctuary with you for worship first.
4
After church, bring your security sticker and pick up your child right from their classroom.

Safe and secure

Your kids' safety comes first

Here's how we help keep every child safe:

Background checks

Everyone who works with our kids has passed a national background check.

Safety training

Every leader has completed a safety training program.

Digital check-in

Each child is checked in on our digital check-in system, and you pick them up with your security sticker.

Security cameras

We use security cameras in the areas where kids are present.
