We know it may sound obvious, but kids matter. We believe that they not only bring a wonderful innocence and joy — but that they also have gifts, knowledge and a perspective that can benefit us all.
That’s why we’ve taken intentional steps to ensure that children have a safe, fun engaging place to learn about God’s love and grow on their own, as well as an invitation to contribute to our community in meaningful ways.
BranchKids is back!
We are so excited to welcome your kids back for the 2024-2025 season!
Our time together will be spent playing games, engaging the Scriptures in age-appropriate ways and building relationships with one another. Oh, and there will of course be snacks. Whenever weather allows, we will use the lawn right outside of the building. Children will return to the sanctuary before the end of worship.
BranchKids will meet every Sunday, except for the last Sunday of each month. We call that Sunday Family Day. On Family Day, kids stay with us for the entire morning. This is one way that we hope to instill in our kids a sense of belonging. Even though they are young, they are valued members of our community!
Here’s what BranchKids will look like this year:
The Nursery will be available for infants and toddlers right at the beginning of the morning. Stop at the check-in station and then head downstairs with your little ones.
All other children will begin worship with their families. They will be dismissed to their groups right before the sermon. We have 2 separate age-groups for your child to participate in. The PreSchool group is for kids in PreSchool through 1st grades. And our Grade School group is for kids in 2nd through 5th grades. Those 5th graders are given a class leadership role, if they would like it. 
Please use the Church Center app to check your child in before you enter the building. You will be given a QR code to show at the Check-In Station as you enter. If you are new to The Branch, use the QR code to the right to download the app. Or just head to the check-in station and someone will help get your child registered!
