Discipling Together

Creekside Kids wants to come alongside parents and families and help raise kids to be disciples of Christ.  We believe that disciples are followers of Jesus, who are being changed by Jesus, and who are on mission with Jesus.  Here at Creekside Kids, we focus on providing a safe and fun environment for kids, while our staff and volunteers proclaim who Christ is and how He works through the Bible and in their lives.  As the kids age, we challenge the kids to apply the lessons of the Bible to their lives, memorize His Word, and learn the foundations of faith by answering deep questions!  To make sure we are equipping families to disciple, we provide opportunities for families to come learn/play with their kids and provide information on what we are covering here, so that families can dive deeper at home.  

Sundays at creekside Kids

CREEKSIDE KIDS

We offer kids programming most Sunday mornings during our 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM adult services. Our kids environments are designed to be safe, engaging, and age-appropriate—so your children can learn about God while you enjoy the service.
Check-in opens 15 minutes before each service, and children can be dropped off at that time.

OUR CLASSROOMS

Children are placed in classrooms based on age:

  • Little Lupine – Birth to 2 years
  • Rainbows – Ages 3–4
  • Fireweed – Kindergarten & 1st Grade
  • Trees – 2nd & 3rd Grade
  • Mountains – 4th & 5th Grade

Each classroom explores the same Bible story each week, allowing children to learn together as we journey through the Bible chronologically, with teaching tailored to their age and stage.

What should I expect on my first visit?
Look for the Creekside Kids check in area when you arrive.  A friendly staff member or volunteer will help you register and check your kids in and then help you locate the correct classroom.

As we value the safety of the children placed into our care, we collect guardian information, a phone number, information on each child, and any special factors (e.g., allergies, medical info).  

Check in at a kiosk involves entering your phone number, picking who is staying in Creekside Kids, and receiving three stickers for each child.  One for the child, one for the teacher, and one for the guardian to keep for pick up.  

Kids can be dropped off in their classrooms as early as 15 minutes before the service/program starts.  
Can I pre-register my kids to save time on my first visit?
What version of the Bible does Creekside Kids recommend?
We aren't too picky!  We recommend that kids bring their Bibles (preschool-5th grade) every Sunday so that we can help them learn to use their Bible.  

We provide Christian Standard Bibles (CSB) in the classroom and as a one-time gift.  This is a version that is readily available (and is also sold in our bookstore), is easy to read, and is a good balance between thought-for-thought and word-for-word translation.  
What is the protection policy?
Can I donate supplies?
Absolutely!  Running Creekside Kids takes a lot of supplies.  Everything from Bibles to cups to snacks to craft supplies and so much more!  Check out our list here!!
How can I volunteer?
As per our protection policy, Creekside Kids volunteers must have attended Creekside for at least 6 months, consider Creekside their home church, complete an application, and pass a background check.  If you would like to serve, let us know here!

From the Kids Director

Thanks for checking us out and I hope to see your family checking in soon!  We are so excited to come alongside parents and teach children about God, the Bible, and His big plan for their lives.  Our staff and volunteers strive to provide every child with a Biblical foundation, so that they can come to know Jesus personally.  Feel free to chat with me at the check ins on Sunday or drop me an email throughout the week.
