Waumba Land (birth—age 5)
Available during the 10:30am worship service.
Waumba is Swahili for “Creator.” Waumba Land is a clean, safe, and carefully staffed small-group environment where your children (infants through preschoolers) will be well cared for. Waumba Land opens 15 minutes prior to the beginning of each worship service.
Nothing is more important for your young child than beginning to understand who God is. Waumba Land is one opportunity to partner with you, the parent, to introduce your child to their Heavenly Father.
Three basic truths that we want every preschooler in Waumba Land to have planted in their hearts are God Made Me, God Loves Me, and Jesus Wants To Be My Friend Forever.
UpStreet (K-5th Grade)
Available during the 10:30am worship service.
UpStreet is an exciting, relevant, environment designed especially for elementary-aged children (K- 5th grade). Doors open at 10:15am.
In the large group time, there are hilarious characters to engage kids, incredible music to excite kids, and relevant storytellers to introduce the morning’s virtue and Bible story that will be discussed in the small group time.
Small groups are all about relationships: relationships with other kids, leaders, and most importantly, Jesus. During small group time kids take the morning’s virtue and learn how it applies to their daily lives. They learn how to study the Bible to it personal and real to them.
We want every child who is transitioning into the sixth grade to decide that I need to make the WISE choice, I can TRUST GOD no matter what, I should treat OTHERS the way I want to be treated.
