Journey Kids

WE LOVE YOUR KIDS!

We absolutely adore our little ones at The Journey Church. They are wonderful. They make us happy every single Sunday. Our hearts' desire is to serve your family by loving your kids. Journey Kids opens its doors for Kid's Church every Sunday morning for children ages 4 through 5th grade, and Nursery for children 0-3 years old. A safe, secure environment buzzing with fun, excitement, and adventure sets the stage for us to introduce your children to God and each other.

Nursery:  Nursery for ages 0–3 years old
Kids' Church:  4 years old through 5th Grade

Values

We have three values we hold to for our Journey Kids' Ministry:

1) Safety:  We provide a safe environment for your child to learn. We take the safety and security of our little ones very seriously and we always strive to make sure parents feel comfortable and secure leaving their little ones in our care.

2) Welcoming: We accept all families and kids at The Journey. It is a place for all people to grow together and this is no different for our youngest members. We want you and your children to feel loved and welcome at The Journey as we learn and grow together.

3) Learning: We want to provide meaningful learning opportunities for all children who join us at Journey Kids. We don’t want to just babysit your kids; we want them to learn and grow in our community with us. We provide lessons and experiences that appeal to all learning types and employ a wide range of skills - gross and fine motor skills, music, reading/pre-reading, active listening, memorization, social skills, emotional regulation, and critical thinking. With our youngest members in the nursery, we use developmentally appropriate toys and songs to interact and help foster social, emotional, and physical development.

Curriculum

Our curriculum has been developed specifically for our community to represent our core values at The Journey (Holy, Together, Compassion, Sacrificial Inclusion) and to meet our kids where they are at. We like to say that we don’t want to teach our children what to think, but we want to teach them how to think. We include elements in every lesson to help kids think critically about themselves and the world around them - all through the lens of Jesus. We think the life of Christ is the best example of our mission to love God and love others, so every single lesson relates back to Jesus. Like our whole church, we accept all children and want to love them just as they are.
