Journey Kids & Starters

All children are welcome to join us every Sunday morning at 9 am & 11 am for an exciting time together with interactive, practical applications of God’s word. Check-in starts at 8:50 am and 10:50 am. Our dedicated team of leaders, under the leadership of Kyra Gonzalez, provide an amazing worship & learning experience.

New to The Journey? Fill out the information below so that we’ll be ready to greet you on Sunday morning. 

Journey Kids Fall Update:

As we continue to enhance our Kids Ministry, these updates will start in November!

9 AM SERVICE:

Our Kids’ classrooms will be offered for Starters (Babies-Pre-K) and Kids (K-5). We will have a designated time when our 4/5th graders will have small group time in the Gathering Place.

Pick-Up and Drop-Off will remain consistent– drop your kids off after check-in, and come to the Kid’s Wing to pick up with the help of a Check-In Team Member.

11 AM SERVICE:

In this service, Kids (K-5) will start off by joining the main Worship service (they will remain with parents/guardians). After worship, children will transition to the Kid’s Wing– where they will go through the doors closest to the front of the sanctuary.

Pick-up in the Kid’s Wing after service! Starters will be open at the beginning of the 11 am service for babies-Pre-K.

You may bring any Starters after worship, however the room will be open at the beginning of the service for drop-off.

Pick-Up Information:
At the end of the service, please pick up your children from the Kid’s Wing. We can’t wait for you to see all the fun and learning they’ve experienced!

 

What we're Teaching

Wondering what your kids’ hour at Journey Kids will look like?

Our teams will facilitate an hour full of engaging kids in fun, as they learn about God! This hour looks like: free play, worship, lessons, games, and crafts, as well as a snack!
 
Check out our theme for the month below!
 

UNSUNG HEROES:

Superheroes aren’t heroic only when they feel like it– they’re brave each and every day. The best heroes can even inspire the people around them to be brave, faithful, and hopeful in their own lives, too. In this 4-week series, kids will learn more about what it looks like to see God as the hero of our story as they hear the story of Ruth and Naomi. They’ll see how God gives them companions, opportunities, boldness, and hope so they can be heroes, too!
