PATHWAYS KIDS
Sundays | 8:30 & 10AM
6 Weeks – 5th Grade
ROOTS | Wednesdays 6:30–7:45PM
2nd – 5th Grade
Every Sunday, at our 8:30 and 10AM services, all children (babies through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way. Everything your child will experience centers around these basic truths:
ELEMENTARY
I am designed for a purpose. I am known. I am forgiven. I am made for community. I am never alone. I am secure. I am loved. I am meant to know God. I am set apart. I am here to share Jesus. I am broken. I am uniquely designed.
PRESCHOOL
God has a plan for me. God knows me. God forgives me. God gives me friends. God is always with me. God takes care of me. God loves me. God wants me to know Him. God helps me obey. God made me special. God wants me to tell people about Jesus. God cares when I hurt.
“We would love to see you and your family visit Pathways Kids this Sunday. Join the fun and experience a world where kids meet Jesus on their level!”
YOUR FIRST VISIT - WHAT TO EXPECT?
Step 1: Check In
When you walk into the church, head left down to our Kids and Students wing.
One of our volunteers will greet you and help check your child into our system.
We’ll ask for:
Family member names
Children’s names & birthdates
Address & phone numbers
Any special instructions (allergies, special needs, etc.)
You will receive matching parent and child tags that we use for a secure pickup process.
Step 2: Tour
A volunteer will show your family around our environment. We have separate spaces for nursery, preschool and elementary kids.
You’ll meet the volunteer small group leaders in your child’s space and we’ll help you and your child feel comfortable.
Step 3: Enjoy Service!
We hope that while your child is making friends and learning about God’s love for them, that you’ll have the time you need to get filled by worship, prayer and a meaningful message!
Step 4: Pickup
After service, or any time during service, you may come back into our Pathways Kids wing to pick up your child from their room.
We will match up your parent tag with your child’s tag as you exit.

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Parents, kids in grades 2 through 5 will have the opportunity to participate in mid-week programming we call Roots. This will be a weekly commitment that runs throughout the school year.
Join us for a time of extended children’s programming that includes worship, games, and small group sessions geared for your child to dig deeper and “get rooted” in who they are in Christ.
Roots will take place every Wednesday, from September 10 to May 20, from 6:30PM - 7:45PM in the Elementary Lower Level space.
Grow with us on Wednesday nights — every week from 6-8PM!
At Pathways, our mission is to grow in our relationship with Jesus—and we’re inviting you to grow by stepping into the life of a kid or student.
We’re looking for a team of small group leaders who are ready to be present, show up weekly and make space for faith to grow!
Want to serve with Pathway Kids? We’d love to have you!

PARENTS - We have a community for you as well!
That is why we offer an ongoing Small Group for parents on Wednesday evenings while your kids are gathering for Roots and Pathways Students.
After you drop off your kiddo(s), come hang out in the Family Room from 6:30-7:45 PM – it is a convenient way to connect with other parents without adding to your busy schedule. No registration is necessary for the group meeting in the Family Room – show up when you can!
In addition to the ongoing group, a 10-week Rooted Experience Small Group that covers the rhythms of a deeper faith walk will also be offered from October 8 to December 17. Sign up below by our deadline of September 16.
