Our Kids Ministry

Big Family

Building authentic sons and daughters of God who love Him with every part of their being,

which results in genuine Christian service.

Sundays at Big Family

We want to partner with you, as the parent(s), in equipping your children with the tools and knowledge they will need to build their lives on a relationship with Jesus. 

We do this by capturing their imaginations through creativity, capturing their minds through solid Biblical teaching, and capturing their hearts through relationship.

What to Expect

On your first Sunday, head to the Kids Check-In (found upstairs in the Main Building - above the Atrium).

A serve team member will be there to welcome you and walk you through the process.

Check-in opens at 8:45AM and 10:30PM

We require that all kids are registered and checked-in by a parent or guardian for their safety and security.
