WELCOME TO FIRESIDE KIDS!
Our church is passionate about creating a fun and safe environment where kids love to be so that they can grow in their relationship with Jesus as well as with other kids and caring adults. Our hope is to come alongside families in anchoring the everyday faith of kids to what Jesus said and did, and to equip our kids to live out their faith as a part of the body of Christ.
Please fill out our Family Registration Form so that we can better serve you.
SUNDAYS IN FIRESIDE KIDS
(10:00AM SERVICE)
Families should head over to our Kids Check In table when they arrive, and our toddlers and preschoolers can go straight to their rooms from check in. Our elementary kids participate in our opening worship time and then are invited to head out to Fireside Kids after that.
ENGAGE WITH WHAT YOUR KIDS ARE LEARNING!
OUR STRATEGY
Our Fireside Kids strategy is called “Orange”, which combines the two primary influences that impact a kid's life–the family and the church–to build an authentic faith in the life of each child. Our curriculum centers around what Jesus says matters most,
“’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Matthew 22:37-39 NIV
WE BREAK THIS DOWN UNIQUELY AT EACH STAGE
IN THE PRESCHOOL YEARS
A child will form their first impression of God's love, so our preschoolers will focus on three basic truths:
1. GOD MADE ME
2. GOD LOVES ME
3. JESUS WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND FOREVER
IN THE ELEMENTARY YEARS
A child will grow in wisdom, faith and friendship, so our elementary kids will focus on these three basic truths:
1. I NEED TO MAKE THE WISE CHOICE
2. I CAN TRUST GOD NO MATTER WHAT
3. I CAN TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WANT TO BE TREATED

CHILD DEDICATION
Child Dedication is a way for us to come together as a community around the life of a child. For parents, it represents the decision to surrender their child to God for his purpose and to commit to helping them know Jesus and follow him. For our church community, it signifies our commitment to walk alongside the child and the parents--to pray for them and support them as they point their kids to Jesus.
If you are interested in dedicating your child, please click on "register" to provide us with your information.
