Kids ministry is ministry

Not childcare. Every Sunday, kids dive into creative, God-centered storytelling and worship response, building a faith that's truly their own, not a watered-down version of ours.

Kids hallway at Good Shepherd

Every week, our kids dive into creative, God-centered storytelling and join in worship response. We practice hearing God's voice, prayer, and blessings together, teaming up with parents to spark a lifelong faith journey where families and kids truly follow Jesus and know the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.

Safety first

Check-in, covered

Your child's safety comes before anything else. Here's exactly what to expect the first time you visit.

01

Find the first-time station

Our Serve Team will help you check in, get your info, and print matching tags for you and your child before leading them to their age-appropriate room.

02

Keep your matching tag

Check-in starts 15 minutes before each service. Your child wears a name tag and you keep the match. You'll need it at pick-up, and if we need you during the service, we'll text or call.

03

Not ready to drop off?

Our comfy Mother's Room has a live stream of the service, a changing station, and cozy chairs. Just ask anyone with a name tag for help.
