Kids Program

Newborn – 5th Grade

We know parents play the most important role in the discipleship of children, but we hope to be there to assist and encourage you along the way.

 

At Vine, we long for children to know that God is real and that he loves them. We want kids to discover how to follow Jesus and to build strong friendships with other children in the process. Our Kids Program is a safe and secure place where children are loved and accepted. And, most of all, it is a place where kids have fun!

What to Expect in the Kids Program

 

Kids Check-In

We begin welcoming children into the Kids Program 15 minutes prior to each service. With our secure check-in process, you can rest assured that your kids will be safe and well taken care of. If it’s your first time attending Vine, there is a host at the kids program welcome desk who will help you register your family and check in.

 

Bible Teaching

We use a selection of Bible-based curriculum to provide a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way for the kids to learn God’s truth from the Bible and apply it in real-life situations and challenges.

 

Friendship

We want your kids to build great friendships at Vine Church - the kind that will encourage and strengthen them as they develop in their relationship with God.

 

Prayer

We believe it is important to model and teach kids how to pray and expect God to impact them. We hope that this will be just the start of your kids learning to talk to God and experience His love.

 

Worship

Each of our classes engage in worship using age-appropriate songs. We teach many songs that are also sung during our adult service. As part of worship, we provide an opportunity for children to give offerings.

 

FAQs

  • Head to the Kids welcome desk on your first visit, and one of our volunteers will collect all information needed to register your child. Once your child has been registered, you can easily use the self check-in stations going forward.

  • Check-in begins 15 minutes before every service and takes only a few minutes. It's helpful to arrive a little early on your first time so you can register your child.

  • Upon check-in, each child receives a label with a security code unique to them and the parent receives a label with the codes of all their children. At checkout, the parent must present the label to verify their child. If you lose your label, please go to the kids welcome desk where the receptionist will verify your information and get you a new label.

  • Nope! However, most parents of babies and toddlers do leave a diaper bag with various supplies in it. We'll label your bag and keep it in a secure location.

  • Yes! We have a private room just off of our auditorium that you can bring your child to nurse.

  • We will record any and all of your child's allergies or medical conditions at registration. At Sunday services, we do not provide food or snacks. However, childcare for special events often have snacks and/or food that we serve the kids. We avoid common nut allergens in any snacks we use. If your child has a specific allergy, parents can bring a snack for their child. Should an emergency arise, we will page you during the service or event.

  • Our Kids system will notify you by displaying your child’s security number on the bottom right corner of the auditorium screen. This is to let you know that we need you to return to the Kids Program.
