What is Hope City Kids?
Every Sunday, babies through fifth-grade kids experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way.
We would love for you and your family to visit Hope City Kids this Sunday. Join the fun, and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level!
What We Believe
At Hope City Kids we want your child to truly experience all that God has for them. We also believe that Sundays are just one part of your child’s faith training, so we partner with parents to help you be the primary faith trainer. We make learning about Jesus fun, while maintaining the integrity of God’s Word. The vision of Hope City Church, Love God, Love People, Share Jesus and Make Disciples is also the cornerstone of Kids Church.
Your First Visit
From the moment you pull in the parking lot, you’ll notice lots of friendly faces eager to show you the way.
Your First Stop will be the Student Center, where you’ll see signs directing you to the Kid’s Check-in station. Once you enter the doors, our team of volunteers will be there to greet you and your child. We want to make sure we get to know you and your little one, so we can serve you both well.
Then, we’ll assist you in filling out the online family registration if you haven’t already done so. This will ensure that we have all the necessary information about your child, including any medical conditions or food allergies. Please provide us with a cell phone number for each adult so that we can reach you if needed. And don’t worry, if your child gets upset, our caring volunteers will comfort them right away. If your child cries for more than ten minutes, we’ll text you to request that you come to their classroom.
Next, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. The parent sticker is what you’ll use to pick-up your child after service. To ensure their security, your child will not be released without presentation of your corresponding tag.
Lastly, one of our friendly team members will show you and your child to their classroom. You’ll be able to drop them off with peace of mind, knowing they’re in good hands. If we need to contact you during the service, we’ll send you a text asking you to come to the Hope City Kid’s Check-in Center.
A few extra things to know
What should my kids wear?
We encourage any appropriate clothing, including play clothes. Safety is our first priority. Hope City Kids is a fun, active environment. Your kids will be playing, singing, and dancing as they learn about Jesus.

Special environments
Special Needs Ministry | Champions Club
At this time, Hope City Kids is working on building this ministry but it is not yet active. In the meantime, our pastoral staff and volunteers will do all we can to meet the circumstances of your child.
Every child matters to us and deserves to hear about Jesus on their level. In Hope City Kids, children with special needs are provided an appropriate and supportive environment for the individual impacted by a disability or special need, while other family members attend worship services or desire to serve in the church.
Because of the unique nature of each individual we serve, we ask all new participants in the program to complete a questionnaire and meet with the Special Needs Ministry leader before attending the program.
The Ride Home
We encourage parents to keep the conversation going on the car ride home and throughout the week. Ask your child these questions:
– Did you have fun?
– What did you learn?
— How can you apply that lesson to your life?
Our goal is to have a positive answer to all of those questions each week.
What We Value
Creative Bible Teaching
Relationships
We want kids to know there are people at church who care about them. As families commit to attending the same service each week, children are placed in a small group of familiar faces where relationships can grow.
Age-Appropriateness
Everything from our environments, to the language we use in our lessons, to our small group materials, are created with your child’s age and stage in mind.
