Vineyard Kids

God is already at work in our kids.

Everything we do is centered on helping kids learn to hear God, trust His goodness, and say yes to His loving plans for their lives.

We believe children learn the way of Jesus not only by being taught, but by being immersed in the life of the church. That’s why our kids worship alongside adults during the main service. We want children to see, hear, and experience the rhythms of our shared life with God — because so much of faith is caught as it is lived together.

During our Second Session, kids gather in a smaller group space focused on relationship and formation. This is a place to know and be known, to build friendships, and to wonder together about what they’ve experienced — in the service, at school, and at home. Kids are invited into conversation, curiosity, and shared reflection as we help them grow in understanding who God is and how faith takes shape in everyday life.

VineyardKids is a space where faith is formed through relationship, creativity, play, prayer, and shared life, and where kids are invited to participate in God’s kingdom in meaningful ways.

Our focus is on knowing the character of God as revealed in Jesus — His goodness, kindness, truth, and love. These early years are formative, and we care deeply about shaping a healthy, grounded picture of who God is. We also practice the important work of repair — helping kids name when something is off track and guiding them toward making things right with God and with one another.

We want to get to know your child(ren) and how to best help them connect and have fun. Please reach out with any questions!

Nursery & Preschool

up to age five

Check-In & Drop-Off: 9:45am
Pick-Up: 12:15pm

VineyardKids Nursery & Preschool is a welcoming, nurturing space where kids learn about God’s love. Our time together typically starts with free play, then rotates to worship, a lesson, a snack, listening to God through prayer, followed by games and more free play. We leave plenty of room for joy and flexibility!

We’re happy to partner with parents by feeding and holding babies. Diaper changes are a team effort, so we'll come find you when its time! On nice days, you may find us outside on the playground!

Elementary

ages Kindergarten through 5th Grade

Check-In: 9:45am
Move from auditorium to classroom: 11:15am
Pick-Up: 12:15pm

Elementary-aged children begin Sunday morning in the worship service with their families. During Second Session, VineyardKids gathers to experience Jesus through Bible stories, crafts, games, and group conversation.

Kids explore and apply themes from the teaching shared in the service through Scripture, prayer, and discussion. We use six-week learning cycles focused on key concepts like who God is and the fruit of the Spirit. Children stay with the same teacher during each cycle, building relationships through gentle repetition that helps root concepts.

Family Room & More

We offer a variety of spaces so your family can feel relaxed and at home.

We love welcoming families and value flexibility for parents. If your children are more comfortable staying with you, we offer a Family Room where the service is streamed live. This space includes toys, a cozy nursing nook, and plenty of room to move around and make a little noise!

We also have the Vineyard Café, where the service is live streamed. There is plenty of space for kids to move and for you to enjoy some coffee while watching the service.

Lastly, kids are always welcome in the main auditorium. Little voices and movement are welcome here!
