A safe place for you kids to learn about God in a fun, engaging and relevant way.
An adventure where children, birth to 5th grade, learn about Jesus on their level.
Your child won’t have a chance to be bored!
Newborns through 4th graders have a ton of fun as they learn about Jesus through worship, age-specific lessons, and a variety of exciting activities.
For Parents & Kids
We understand the importance of providing a meaningful experience for every member of the family. That’s why our GenKids program runs at the same time as our Worship Gathering for adults. While you’re immersed in worship and teaching, your children are discovering God in a language tailored just for them!
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
SAFETY is our top priority! We offer age-appropriate environments for kids from birth through fourth grade, and every adult in our ministry has been interviewed, trained, and has a current background check on file. In addition, we have security team members at each service, and your family will receive a unique code when you check-in to provide extra security at pick-up.
FAITH & FAMILY
It is our deep desire to build strong families by partnering with parents in the FUN and responsibility of raising kids who love Jesus!
We do this by creating unique opportunities for kids to experience God’s love, explore the Bible, and learn to love their neighbors.
How Check-In Works
If it’s your first time, we recommend arriving approximately 15 minutes early on your first visit to register your children. Upon arrival, simply inform one of our friendly volunteers in their bright orange shirts that it’s your first time, and they’ll gladly assist you through the registration process for our check-in system and explain the pick-up procedure.
For returning families, you may check in your child at any available station. After finding your child’s name in the database, you and your child will be given matching identification tags that are exclusive to your family and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you keep the matching tag. Following the service, you’ll return to your child’s room and present your tag for your child to be safely released back to you.
The Ride Home
At Genesis, we believe that part of building strong families centered around Christ is sharing our learning about God with the whole family. The ride home is one of the very best times to talk to your children about what they did and what was taught in our kids ministry! Make sure to ask them ‘did you have fun?’ and ‘what did you learn?’ One of our goals is that each kid has a positive answer to these questions.
