DIVINE SHEPHERD KIDS

Where Kids can grow in God's love

At Divine Shepherd, we welcome all children and their families to walk in faith together and grow closer to God and to one another. Our mission in children’s ministry is to reach and teach children of all ages how to Love God, Share Jesus and Serve People. Our goal is to come alongside parents and caregivers by providing resources and opportunities for building the faith of the children in their care. 

Sundays for DS Kids

 10AM KIDS CHURCH

After worshiping with parents, kids meet for a God-centered, age-appropriate Bible lesson from the Gospel Project for Kids. This curriculum goes through the Bible in three years, connecting each Bible story to the Gospel of Jesus. After the Large Group time, kids head to review the story with games, crafts, and discussion, all designed to give understanding to the day's lesson in various ways. Ages 3.5 years (potty trained) through 5th grade are welcome!


NURSERY

Nursery is available for 6 months through age 3 from 9:15am to the conclusion of the 10am worship service.

STEP TWO: CHECK IN AND GET SECURITY STICKERS

All parents of children attending the Nursery or Kids Church should go to a check-in kiosk upon arrival (located in the Atrium to the right of the Sanctuary entrance) to get stickers for kids and guardians. Visitor stickers are also available to fill out manually.


STEP THREE: ATTEND WORSHIP (10AM)
  • The Nursery is open from 9:30am until the conclusion of the 10am service.
  • PreK through 5th graders begin in the worship service with parents, and are dismissed to Children's Church about 25 minutes into the service. During Children's Church, children hear the Bible lesson in a large group and continue the lesson in small groups based on their grade level. 
  • All children can be picked up by their guardian (with the security sticker) after the service.
