What ages can
attend Abide Kids?
Abide Kids is for children in PreK 3
through 6th grade, with age-appropriate classes designed for each stage of
development.
Does my child need to have attended church before?
Not at all! Whether your child is hearing
Bible stories for the first time or has grown up in a Christian home, they will
be welcomed, loved, and encouraged.
What if my child is nervous?
Our leaders understand that visiting
somewhere new can feel overwhelming. We'll help your child get settled,
introduce them to their leaders and classmates, and do everything we can to
help them feel comfortable.
Will my child stay with the same leaders?
We strive to provide consistent leaders
so children can build trusted relationships over time.
What should my child bring?
Just themselves! We provide everything
your child needs for a great morning, including allergen-friendly snacks when
they are offered. If your child has dietary restrictions, you're welcome to
send a snack from home. To help keep all of our children safe, we ask that no
food containing nuts be brought into our children's ministry areas.
How do check-in and pickup work?
We'll help make your first visit easy! A
member of our Next Generation team will greet your family, answer any
questions, and assist you with check-in. Our secure check-in system provides
matching name tags for both parents and children to ensure safe pickup. At the
end of the morning, children remain with their leaders until a parent or
authorized guardian arrives.
What if my child has allergies or medical needs?
We want every child to participate safely
and confidently. Please let us know about any allergies, medications, or
medical needs during registration so we can care for your child well. Our Next
Generation team is trained in first aid and follows established safety
procedures to help provide a safe and welcoming environment for every child.
