Parents, if you haven’t done so already, please fill out our Child Registration Form for your family for this Ministry Year! 

We have a new form this year!  So please read over the registration form instructions at the top to make sure you can register your child(ren) properly. 

This registration will apply to September 2025 to August 2026.  We require this information for the safety and care of your children and is required every year. It also helps us plan for more accurate class sizes and supervision and to be able to plan materials needed each week. 

Age Groups and classrooms for your kids:

Little Lambs Nursery is for babies up to Age 2

SONSeekers Preschool: This class is for our 3 and 4 year olds.  If your child is turning 3 by the end of this December, they can move on up to this class right away! If your child turns 3 in January or later, they can move up to Preschool after their birthday!

SONSeekers Elementary: This is for kids in Kindergarten to Grade 4.

• Kindergarten and Grade 1 kids will meet in our classroom in the Preschool area – Our check in team and volunteer staff will guide you there! They will have combined Bible Story time with the Preschoolers but will separate to their classroom for age appropriate activities and discussion.
• Grades 2 & 3 – They will be in the Theatre B classroom. 
• Grade 4‘s will meet in the center Children’s Ministry Area.

Grades 5 & 6 are in The Wave:
The Wave meets during the sermon part of the service for kids in Grade 5 & 6. The Wave meets every Sunday except the 1st Sunday of the month! We want this age group to be able to attend church on our Communion Sundays and give them an opportunity to observe and eventually participate in Communion. If your child understands and accepts the sacrifice that Jesus made for them, they are welcome to participate. 

• The Wave kids will begin the service sitting with their families and then are dismissed prior to the sermon.
• Kids can check-in at the Kids Check-in Desk on their own or with a parent.
• Once they are checked in, kids will meet their leader in the Check-in area and then proceed to the Fireside Room.
• Kids in this group are allowed to check in on their own and are dismissed after the service back to the check-in area to meet their parents. To make sure that kids feel confident meeting you after the service, please plan a meeting spot with your child – there is no check-out procedure for parents for this group. 

This Year – Our classes from Preschool to Grade 6 are journeying through the Bible Chronologically. We started a new curriculum that goes through the Bible in a year (instead of 3 years) and includes a very interactive Bible Story time. Kids will take home activity pages each week that show what we are learning and parents can use them to continue the discussion at home too!  I’m looking forward to seeing kids interact with the Bible in a fresh way as we study God’s word together!  
For The Wave, they will follow along with the Elementary Bible Story schedule, but will be adjusted as they miss the 1st Sunday of the month.
