A place to belong.
A faith to grow.

From their very first Sunday to their next big question, we want kids to know God, grow with friends, and love being at church.

Little hearts. Lifelong faith.

There’s a place for your child.

At BRDRVR KIDS, our heart is to see every child fall in love with Jesus. We partner with families to ground children in God’s Word, help them build real friendships, and empower them to discover their God-given purpose—even at a young age.

6 WEEKS–17 MONTHS

Infant Room

Main Building

A caring, staffed drop-off space where our team loves and prays over your baby while you attend the service. Share feeding, sleeping, and changing needs at drop-off. A quiet space for nursing mothers is also available here.

18 MONTHS–PRE-K

Toddlers & Preschoolers

Main Building

For children walking steadily on their own. Age-appropriate play, a Bible-story circle, and worship songs help little ones build friendships, trust their teachers, and begin learning who God is.

KINDERGARTEN–FIFTH GRADE

Elementary

Kids Building

Energetic worship and age-appropriate Bible teaching lead into small groups with kids in the same grade. Consistent leaders help children ask questions, memorize Scripture, build friendships, and grow in their relationship with God.

Not sure which room is the best fit? Our check-in team will help you find your child’s place.

A Sunday in the Kids Building

Known by name. Growing in faith.

Our elementary experience combines worship and Bible teaching with the relationships children build in their grade-level small groups.

Worship God

Worship is more than singing. Through energetic praise and worship, kids are invited to experience God’s presence and discover the joy of worshiping Him.

Explore the Bible

A video Bible lesson introduces the current series topic. Grade-level learning focuses and age-appropriate teaching help children understand Biblical truth at their stage of life.

Grow with your group

With a consistent Small Group Leader and kids in their grade, children discuss what they’ve learned, ask questions, memorize Scripture, and discover how to put God’s Word into practice.

For parents & caregivers

A little confidence before you come.

New places can bring big questions. We’re here to help your whole family settle in.

Every teacher and volunteer is background checked.
Two adults are assigned to every classroom, and matching security tags are required at pickup. We collect allergy information during first-time registration and work with families to accommodate their child’s needs.
Do I need to register before we come?

You can register when you arrive. Pre-registering helps make your first check-in smoother, and our team will be ready to help either way.

Do parents stay in the Infant Room?

No. The Infant Room is a staffed drop-off environment for ages 6 weeks–17 months, so you can attend the service. There is also a space available for nursing mothers.

How do you care for babies?

At drop-off, you can complete a simple form with your baby’s feeding, sleeping, and changing needs so our team can follow your routine. Age-appropriate toys are thoroughly sanitized between services, and our team takes time to love and pray over your baby.

What if my child needs me?

Our team will contact you if your child needs you during the service. Tell us anything that will help us care for your child when you check in.

What if I lose my pickup label?

Please speak with a staff member. We’ll verify your photo ID against the registered guardian information before pickup.

Can we talk about my child’s needs first?

Absolutely. Contact Ruth before your visit to talk through allergies, care needs, or questions about helping your child feel comfortable. We’ll work with you to understand what your family needs.
