Ages 1–2
Nursery
A safe, loving environment for infants and toddlers to play during the entire worship service.
Hope Kids
A place for your kids to belong.
Hope Kids gathers every Sunday during the service — birth through 5th grade. Safe, fun, and genuinely Bible-centered.
Hope Kids
A community where kids are celebrated, and encouraged to enjoy Jesus.
Hope Kids is our Sunday program for children from birth through 5th grade. It gathers during the sermon portion of our Sunday service, allowing parents to fully engage during the teaching while their kids have an age-appropriate learning experience of their own.
Hope Kids is a resource for parents, but children are always welcome in the main service.

Child Safety
Your child's safety is our first priority.
Hope is a GRACE certified (opens in new window) church, meaning we do all we can proactively to protect the vulnerable, care for survivors, and hold abusers accountable. GRACE stands for Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment.
Every Hope Kids volunteer undergoes a background check and agrees to our child protection policy before working with children. All volunteers wear designated Hope Kids shirts so you can easily spot who the teachers are each week. A secure check-in system is used to ensure that no child leaves with anyone other than their checked-in guardian.
First Time
First time? Here's what to do.
1
Arrive by 9:45am
Check-in opens 15 minutes before the service.
2
Check your child in
Our team will help you check your child in at the Hope Kids table next to the main worship space and give them a name tag. First-timers get a little welcome gift too.
3
Enjoy the service
Head into the main service as a family. Children will be led to their Hope Kids classrooms by their teachers after a special prayer during the service.
4
Pick up after service
Come to your child's classroom area after the service. You'll need your matching tag from check-in to pick up your child.
