OUR GOAL
Facilitating the discipleship and spiritual growth of children in our parish through thoughtful, age-appropriate classes on Sunday mornings.
Children are a gift from the Lord and a vital part of the body of Christ; each bear the image of God with unique gifts to offer their families, neighbors, and the world.
We aim to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which children: learn the story of the Bible, are discipled by caring adults, & actively participate in the worship life of the Church.
LEARN
3’s-PreK learn through Young Children & Worship, a beautifully written story-based curriculum designed to introduce Bible stories and the sacraments to kids under 6 years old.
Our K-5th graders enjoy learning catechisms and the story of the Bible through God’s Big Story curriculum.
DISCIPLE
We believe children’s church is a time for godly adults to disciple children in our parish through meaningful relationships and age-appropriate activities on Sunday mornings.
PARTICIPATE
We believe that children are a vital part of the body of Christ and we welcome them to participate in all areas of corporate worship, including the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist.
WHAT TO EXPECT
ON SUNDAY MORNING
Check-In
Every child 5th grade and under is welcome to check in to Redeemer Kids on Sunday mornings! There is a check-in table located by the nursery before every service where a volunteer coordinator can help a parent/guardian register their child for Redeemer Kids or there is a self-check in option for returning families. Each child will receive a printed name-tag with a safety code that corresponds with a safety code sticker for the parent/guardian. A matching safety sticker is required to pick up children PreK and under from Redeemer Kids. You may register your child using the link below to have a smooth check-in before visiting for the first time.
Nursery
Every Sunday morning, Redeemer Kids offers a nursery for children under 3 years of age for the full length of both the 9:00 a.m. and the 11:00 a.m. service, supervised by Redeemer’s trained team of paid nursery staff and volunteers.
Classes
Every Sunday morning, Redeemer Kids offers a Three’s, PreK, K-1st Grade, 2nd-3rd Grade, and 4th-5th Grade class that meet for 45 minutes during the 9:00 a.m. and the 11:00 a.m. service. Children are invited to attend age appropriate classes after the Collect of the Day, then are dismissed from their classes to rejoin their families in corporate worship following the announcements.
Safety
Redeemer Kids considers safety of the highest priority for our children and volunteers. We utilize MinistrySafe to screen and train all staff and volunteers, follow the 5-step safety protocols implemented by DOMA, build current and detailed safety policies, and structure all events that include childcare. Every volunteer has completed background checks (updated every 2 years), an extensive application, reference checks, and sexual abuse awareness trainings. Redeemer Kids uses a check-in system on Sunday mornings for any child attending children’s church.
PARENTS
You can now check-in your children before you arrive for worship on Sundays using the ChurchCenter app for iOS and Android. After you check in, the app will show a QR code to scan using the camera on the iPads at check-in, automatically generating all of the labels you'll need.
Contact Casey Cisco, Director of Redeemer Kids, with any questions.
