Promiseland Kids!
Children are precious to you, to us, and especially to God. We consider it a privilege to be entrusted with the care of your children. We commit to nurture, love, and teach them about God and how to have a relationship with Him through Jesus. Promiseland is designed to be an exciting place where our children meet God (children focused worship), study God's Word (children's small groups) and where they are loved and cared for.
What should I expect when I visit?
As parents enter the Promiseland hallway their families' first stop is the Adventure Pass check-in desk. Here parents will sign their child in and receive an Adventure Pass (numbered lanyard) which corresponds to their child's Adventure Pass number (a sticker worn on their clothing).
After parents receive their Adventure Pass, they may escort their child to either the Nursery check-in desk to receive a pager for their 0-3 year old, or the Fellowship Hall for Promiseland LIVE! for their 4 year old to 5th grader.
When you retrieve your child at the end of the service, please present your Adventure Pass to the Nursery Workers, Coaches (in the Fellowship Hall) or teachers (in the classroom) so that your child's Adventure Pass number can be matched with yours. Parents are encouraged to wear their lanyard in the Promiseland hallway and Fellowship Hall so that staff know you have a child in the program.

First hour: 8:30-9:45am
Dusty Bottoms, Little Trekkers and Little Rangers Nurseries
0 - 3 years old
In the Nursery area of Promiseland we strive to show God's love to each child by providing a safe and nurturing environment that meets the individual needs of each child in our care.
When you arrive at the nursery counter, a Nursery Volunteer will greet you and your child, issue you a pager, and place a corresponding identification sticker on your child. If you are needed for any reason during the service, you will be paged. Simply come to the Nursery counter and a Volunteer will meet you with your child.
Children spend the morning exploring a wide variety of toys and interacting with our caring staff. Snacks such as graham crackers are available. If you do not want your child to have these, please let the Nursery Volunteers know.
Our church also has a place for mothers to nurse their infants. This room is located in the women's restroom in the Promiseland hallway.
Promiseland LIVE!
4 years - 5th grade
All of the children from four years old through fifth grade meet together in the Fellowship Hall at the start of our morning. They will be received by the Promiseland LIVE! staff who will escort them to their seats in the large group area for worship when the service starts. The first through fifth graders will experience lively worship, a Bible focused interactive storyteller, themed activities and crafts, prayer and memory verse work all centered around our virtue, or character quality, for the month.
REWIND
Parents are encouraged to attend REWIND which runs for about 10 minutes immediately following the adult service. Parents enter the Fellowship Hall via the Promiseland hallway and display their lanyard to the Promiseland LIVE! staff. In this fast-paced and fun environment, families sit together and through fun, drama, movie clips and worship, hear what their children learned during Promiseland LIVE!
As families leave REWIND, parents are given resources (Fridge Door Cards, God Time Cards, etc.) to help them continue to teach and discuss the virtue throughout the rest of the week.
Second Hour: 10:15-11:30am
We offer many wonderful classes during our second hour to help both adults and children take their next step in following Jesus to deepen their relationship with God.
LITTLE Rangers
2 - 3 years old
Children who are two to three years of age are invited to join the Little Rangers class. They spend the first part of the morning in the nursery playing with and exploring a variety of toys. Once all the children have arrived, they participate in story time and see familiar Bible stories come alive with our interactive Bible curriculum. The Bible point is introduced during this time and is reinforced throughout the remaining activities. After our story time, children explore their creative side as they make crafts and music that correspond to the lesson of the day. After craft and music time, a simple snack is offered and the children continue to play as they wait for parents to arrive.
Promiseland Small Groups
4 years - 5th grade
During our second hour children learn how to apply to their every day lives the truths they heard during Promiseland LIVE! This may include an object lesson, role-playing, games, craft, movie clip, special guest, drama, etc. They will gain insight on how to apply the Biblical principles taught in Promiseland LIVE!. Children wait in their classrooms for parent pick up.
