KIDS AT FIRST CHURCH
Yes! Kids at First Church is open and ready for fun with your kids!
Your children will have a blast in KidZone which is designed to provoke discovery and invite kids into a new understanding of how to grow in relationship with Jesus.
Everything that is taught in KidZone is based on one of three basic, but powerful, truths modeled by Jesus in Luke 2:52: I need to make the wise choice. I can trust God no matter what. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Everything in KidZone is carefully designed to help your child creatively learn about Jesus through interactive lessons, music and hands-on age-appropriate activities.
Some helpful things to know about Kids at First Church during this Season:
Rooms will be clean and sanitary to ensure a safe and productive return. While the nurseries will remain closed for a time, classrooms will be opened with kids grouped in multiage settings.
Parents are asked to first well check their children at the KidZone Check-in. Following the well check, parents may then proceed to check their kids into their classroom.
Those families opting to stay home for the time being, may also engage with KidZone by joining us each weekend for an on-line Big KidZone and Little KidZone worship experience. Parent resources and the worship experience is sent each week via email. Parents may subscribe to the KidZone email by emailing [email protected]

YOUR FIRST VISIT
Here’s what to expect when visiting KidZone for the first time:
First, find the area marked KidZone Check-in. This area is located at the Info Hub at the First Church Campus you’re visiting.
There, you will meet the First Church Welcome Team. They’ll check your child into the system, and one of a volunteer will lead your child to their age-appropriate classroom.
Upon checking in for the first time, you will be asked the following questions (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone):
-Parent/guardian name(s)
-Email Address
-Child’s name
-Child’s birthdate
-Home address
-Phone number
-Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children
To ensure safety, all First Church volunteers pass a background check before working with your child.
Plan your visit here.
HOW CHECK-IN WORKS
You can check-in your child at any KidZone Check-in area. After finding your child’s name in the database, you and your child will be given matching name tags that are exclusive to your family. Your child will be required to wear the name tag portion, you will reserve the matching tag.
After the service is complete, you will return to your child’s classroom and show your child’s matching tag to the classroom leader and your child will be released back to you.
