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!

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 needed information and have you fill out a medical release form. Once your children have 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 children.

  • Upon check-in, each child receives a security code unique to them. Each child receives a label with their code and each parent receives a label with the codes of all their children. At checkout, each parent must present the label to verify their children. If you lose your label, one of our workers will help you verify your security codes.

  • Nope! However, most parents of newborns 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. Just let our Kids desk know you need to nurse and they'll take you to your child.

  • We will record any and all of your child's allergies or medical conditions at registration. We avoid common allergens in any snacks we use (nuts, peanuts, gluten) and can specifically avoid individual allergens. Should an emergency arise, we will text you during service.

  • Our Kids system has the capability to notify you via text during the service if your child needs assistance. We will record your number during registration and can update it at any time. Please keep your phone on silent and vibrate during the service.
