Fellowship Kids
Welcome to Fellowship Kids, our core learning program during all four weekend services, for children birth - 6th grade. Our desire is to present God’s Word in a way that children will understand the nature of who God is, acknowledge the condition of their hearts and are drawn to respond to Him. We are about the development of children’s spiritual roots and the transformation of their lives. Our goal is to love each child personally, provide a wonderful learning environment so that God’s Word may be established in their hearts and smiles will sprout on their faces as they tell you what a great day they had in Fellowship Kids.
Fellowship Kids also includes Kingdom Kids, an extended program for children of volunteers or Discovery-class attendees, and Buddy Ministry, designed to serve kids needing a little (or a lot) of assistance.
For newcomers, who need a brief introduction to children's ministry and an explanation of what to expect when you enter our Learning Center, please click here.

Kingdom Kids
Fellowship was founded on a “worship and serve” model: worship in one service, serve in another. Kingdom Kids is a multi-dimensional, volunteer resource and extended care program for parents serving in our Learning Center on Sunday and for those parents attending Fellowship’s Discovery class for new members. This program is designed to be a meaningful, fun experience that adds to a child's spiritual development, skills, and maturity. It is a supplement, not an alternative, to the biblically nutritious curriculum offered in a Fellowship Kids class. Children are transferred from their Learning Center class to Kingdom Kids by their teachers between services.
Kingdom Kids 2s – 3s: This class is packed with imaginative play, singing, story time, craft projects and tasty snacks.
Kingdom Kids Pre-K – Kindergarten: This class takes children on a learning adventure with the multimedia bases curriculum Lil’K. During each session of this, the children will enjoy activities, teaching, songs, engaging review and snacks shared among friends.
Kingdom Kids Worship Choir: This program is optional for all 1st-6th graders in Kingdom Kids. Whether your child is looking to develop their vocal or theatrical gifts or just has a tender heart for worship, choir is a powerful, life-changing experience. Our choir produces one musical every year and has other opportunities to lead worship throughout the year.
Camp K: This program for 1st-5th graders is a fun and engaging time of relational activities presented in a camp like atmosphere. Camp K is only for children of volunteers who are on campus for two services. Every week they participate in live worship, large group games and teaching, small group discussions, and still have plenty of time for fun, too.
Buddy Ministry
Sometimes children need a little extra help, and sometimes they need a lot. We understand the challenges families face coming to church with a child who needs extra assistance. It can be overwhelming, and we want to help.
Children who need extra assistance will be matched with a “Buddy," a specially trained volunteer who will get to know you and your child personally, and provide needed assistance in class. Our goal is for you and your child to experience faith-filled, authentic inclusion.
If you are interested in requesting a Buddy:
- Contact our staff Buddy Coordinator, Amy Martin (277-9568 or )
- Pick a time to meet and be oriented to our Buddy process.
- Develop a personal care plan for your Buddy to follow.
We will then begin the process of matching a Buddy to your child. This may take some time because we seek to have a God-inspired match between the two. If you are interested in serving as a Buddy, contact our Buddy Coordinator to begin the application and training process. It’s a great adventure.
