THRIVE KIDS

The most exciting hour of your kid’s week!

At Thrive Church your kids are a top priority!

Thrive Kids is For You 
We want to give you, the parent, the chance to listen to the message without distraction and interruption. We also want you to be able to know that your kids are being taught and taken care of by loving and qualified people. 

Thrive Kids is For Your Kids 
Traditionally kids try to get out of going to church because they think it is “boring.” Our goal is to make this hour the most exciting hour of your kid’s week. Although we want them to have a blast we also want to teach them from God’s Word is a way that they can easily understand. Before long you may find your kids start asking you to bring them to church!

ThriveKids is our dynamic church for kids ages 4-12, where they learn about God in a fun and exciting way. 

 

ThriveSprouts, is our nursery for children 0-3. We make sure area is clean, safe and staffed with caring workers.

Safety

We provide a safe environment for your children to enjoy. We want your children to be safe and feel safe, and for parents to rest assured that their child is well cared-for while they are in the service. For this reason, we obtain applications and background checks on every volunteer. Adults are never alone with children, and there are always two adults with children at all times.

 

Fun

We want your child to have fun! Our desire is to see your child have such a good time, they will be begging you to come back next week. We believe creating this fun environment for kids will help children learn more about Jesus. We use games, crafts, props and creative stories to communicate the message. Our goal is that Sunday morning will be the highlight of your child's week!

Learn

We don't want to simply entertain your kids and we’re not here to babysit. we want your kids to learn about Jesus. Lessons about Christ and the Bible will be age appropriate and will help them understand God's love and plan for their life. 

Partner

We believe that what happens at home is more important than what happens at church. ThriveKids & ThriveSprouts partners with parents to help their kids be fully-devoted followers of Jesus.

Checking In Your Child

Each week we will check your kids into their class to ensure their safety. When you pick up your children you will simply need to show your stub to the teacher.

  • Please take your child to the bathroom before checking them in. While we will take them to the restroom if needed, it's much easier for you to do it before the service begins.

  • First time guests need to fill out a registration form for their children. You can receive one from the info bar and our volunteers will assist you and walk you through the process.

    Please let the teachers know if there are any specific needs your child has so that we can ensure to give special attention to that.

    When you pick up your children for the first time, simply give your registration form to the teacher for verification.

  • Regular attendees do not need to fill out the registration form again.
    Simply proceed to the Self Check-In station and enter the phone number you used on your registration form.
    You can select your children and you will receive a sticker with a unique code. Your child receives a name tag with matching code. The teacher will verify that the code matches when you pick up your children.

  • In the event of an emergency, or should any of the staff need to contact you during the service, we will simply text your cell phone or we will send a volunteer to find you.

    If called out of a service, please make your way to ThriveKids or ThriveSprouts, where a staff member or teacher will meet you.

Meet The Team

We know that it can be hard sending your kids with people you don’t know. So let’s fix that! Meet our Kids and Sprouts Leaders.

We want you to feel comfortable with our teachers and also know that we’ve prayed and sought God on who the right person is to lead our kids. Our team loves God and loves people and they have a desire for our children to know God in a life changing way.
