KIDS CONNECT

Kids Connect is our children’s ministry program that covers kindergarten through 5th grade which is broken down into 3 classrooms. The nursery covers ages 0-2 years old, Preschool 3-5 years old, and Elementary which covers ages 6-12 years old. Each classroom uses The Gospel Project as their curriculum source.

At Connection Church, we are very passionate about teaching kids the Good News of the Gospel by giving them a biblical foundation to stand upon. We want the main focus to alway be on Jesus. The Gospel Project is a Christ-centered, chronological Bible study for kids. This curriculum helps all ages dive deep into the Bible - God’s plan to rescue His people through His son, Jesus.

Our heart is to partner alongside parents in teaching and equipping their children to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” (Luke 10:27) Our amazing Kids Connect leaders faithfully serve and teach your children to stand upon the Word of God as their only source of truth, so they can go out into the world confident in who they are in Christ and not be swayed away from truth. Kids Connect leaders use an array of videos, songs, games, and snacks to bring the Gospel story alive for your kids in a way they won’t forget! We can’t wait to partner with you in raising up a generation with hearts ablaze for Jesus!

CHECK-IN & SAFETY
At Connection Church, we want to ensure that our students stay safe. Before you drop off your children in class, we ask that you visit the Kids Connect check-in table. While there, you will receive a name tag for your child and another tag that you will use to pick up your child at the end of service. Both of these tags have matching numbers to ensure someone doesn’t get picked up by an unauthorized individual. For everyone’s safety, student’s must get picked up by an adult (18+) with a matching name tag.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
Once your children are checked in, you can expect that your child will be greeted by a background checked and trained volunteer who has a heart for pouring into God’s children. In our nursery, your babies will be held, played with and cared for. For our pre-school - 5th grade classes, you can expect that your children are being taught age appropriate lessons, songs, and games that will keep them safe, entertained, and engaged while diving into God’s love for them.
