Kid's Connect/Life Group - Sunday's @ 9:45am

Every Sunday morning at 9:45am during Life Groups, children from Kindergarten through 5th grade gather for Kid’s Connect—an exciting hour designed to bring God’s Word to life!

In a classroom-style setting, our amazing teachers engage kids with dynamic lessons and fun, hands-on activities tailored to a variety of learning styles. By blending traditional teaching with interactive experiences, we ensure that each child not only hears the lesson but remembers it in a meaningful way.

Our loving and dedicated staff can’t wait to welcome your children into the Kid’s Connect family. We’re here to make every moment impactful, memorable, and full of joy!

Got questions? We’d love to help! Call us at 352-394-4221.

Kids Church - Sundays @ 11:00

Sunday morning at 11:00 the doors open and worship begins in this fast-paced environment. Our focus during this hour is developing our skills and talents for the Lord while learning about how we are to engage with the world. We train and provide children with the opportunity to serve God by having the them lead their peers in worship through song and  praying for the offering. Your child will also learn how to search  their Bibles for the verse of the day and read scriptures together. After a Bible lesson on video and skit, they are off to small groups where the adult leaders bring the lesson home based on the child’s age.  Your kids will love joining us at Kid’s Church!


Call (352) 394-4221 if you have questions.

Kid's Choir "JPG's" - Children's Musicals

Does your child love to sing? We would like to have them join the kid's choir called the JPGs (Joyfully Praising God singers)! This important ministry is a wonderful act of service for our children. They rehearse weekly on Sunday 3:30 - 4:30pm. Throughout the year the JPGs perform special music on Sundays and also at the children’s musicals. These musicals are designed to help children use their gifts for the Lord and have a blast in the process! There are three different performances a year (Summer, Christmas, Easter). Rehearsals vary based on the time of year and the complexity of the program. If your child has that “look at me” vibe and can focus on doing a good job then this may be a terrific fit for them. There are many roles and responsibilities so even adults can get involved and join the fun.   Contact 352-394-4221 if you have questions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I go?
Unless otherwise noted, Kids Club activities take place in the Kids Club Area. Entrance to Kids Club is located next to the Cafe.
What can I expect when I get there?
As a first time guest, you can expect to be greeted by a member of our team and guided through our welcome/check in process. We will gather a little bit of information about your family and walk you and your kids to their small groups. We employ a security system check in and out with name tags and claim numbers for each child of your family.

If you are a regular attender, you can expect the same warm welcome and the chance to ask any questions you may have regarding your attendance that day, and check in your child for their small groups at the check-in desk.
Do I need to provide anything for my PreK child?
Please supply any special instruction (feeding, allergy, etc) to the volunteer in the room when you check in. Also, please be sure to pack any supplies that will be needed (diaper, pacifier, bottle with water, juice, or formula, etc) to care for your child. We do offer simple snacks of saltine crackers and water from time to time. If you provide a snack for your child, we ask that it be free of peanuts.
What will my Elementary aged child be doing?
It is our desire to provoke discovery with our elementary kids. And we help the kids experience and own three basic truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52:

I need to make the wise choice.
I can trust God no matter what.
I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

Music, storytelling, small group discussions, video presentations, and creative activities are woven together to reinforce one clear and simple bottom line each week that kids take home to remember what matters most.
When can I drop off / pick up my kids?
Unless otherwise arranged, check in begins 15 minutes prior to start of programming. We ask that you pick up your children within 15 minutes after the end of any children’s programming.

GET INVOLVED!

Our Children's Ministry desires to partner with families to make strong disciples at home and in the world. We can't do this effectively without the help of our many volunteers. We are currently in need or preschool and elementary volunteers to serve on Sunday mornings.
