Summit Kids
Partnering with families to help children learn the gospel, grow in community, and live on mission.
WE LOVE KIDS
Jesus loves kids and so do we. Our desire is for every child to be seen, known and experience God's love while they are a part of our church family.
SUMMIT KIDS VISION
Our hope through our Summit Kids ministry is that kids would come to know and love God and that this relationship would grow and mature. We hope they grow to love God's people and his church.
Discipleship at Home
We believe parents are the primary disciplers of their kids and so we hope to partner with parents to help kids develop a personal relationship with God, know His word and love his church family. We partner with parents who are renewed by the gospel and inviting their children to know God and his redemptive mission by living it out in front of them.

Age Appropriate Teaching
We desire to partner with parents for the spiritual formation of their kids, which is why we consider our Sunday morning kids ministry as more than just childcare. We teach children gospel truths in a way they can understand and connect with.
Our Sunday morning Summit Kids ministry is for newborns through 5th grade. It is our goal to provide a safe and fun environment for kids to learn about God. Our age-appropriate curriculum includes bible lessons, games, worship and prayer for every age group!
Learn more about what to expect on Sunday mornings below!
Meaningful Community
Throughout the year, we create environments for children and families to experience community and grow together as well as celebrate milestones. Find out more about our upcoming events here!
Parent Commissioning: During our Parent Commissioning we celebrate our new babies (and families) and invite our church family to show our support by verbally committing to walk alongside the parents and children. Want to be a part of the next Parent Commissioning? Let us know here!
Kids Baptism: Has your child expressed interest in being baptized? Learn more about our process of baptism for kids by contacting us!
Multi-Generational Relationships
We work to provide deep relationships across generational lines in order for children to have people in their lives (outside of their parents) they know and trust. This happens through Sunday mornings, yearly events and as kids grow, our Boys and Girls Groups and Youth Group. Throughout our entire ministry, we have wonderful teachers who care deeply about our kids and seek to ensure a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn and have fun.
Do you have a 4th or 5th grader? Check out Summit Bridge!
The heart behind Summit Bridge is for our kids to experience a thoughtful transition into their middle school years. We hope to build a bridge for our 4th and 5th graders as they move from our Summit Kids ministry into Summit Youth.
Summit Bridge meets Sunday mornings during our 9am service and once a month on Wednesday nights.
Planning a Visit?
We’d love to meet you!
We have our Summit Kids Classes at 9am and 11am for kids newborn through 5th grade.
If your family is planning to visit our church, you can save time at Kids Check-in by adding your kids information here. Make sure to let us know it's your first time when you arrive. We look forward to seeing you!
Here’s what you can expect:
-
We have wonderful, trained and vetted teachers who care deeply about our kids and seek to ensure a safe and engaging environment for kids to learn and have fun.

When you arrive, come see us at the blue Summit Kids desk. We will help you get your child checked-in to our system. Your child will get a name tag that corresponds with the number on your tag. You will use this tag to pick up your child after the service. You can also pre-register your child below to make Sunday morning easier! We will then walk you and your child(ren) to their classroom to meet their teacher!

In the event we need to contact you during the service, we will text the phone number you provide at check-in. Please keep your phone accessible.

Your child's safety is vital to us. We do everything we can to provide a safe environment for kids to learn about God and have fun. Find out more about our safety protocols through our Volunteer Handbook.
Teachers: All Summit Kids Teachers have gone through a screening process (including background and reference checks) and are specifically trained in child abuse and safety.
Medical Notes: Be sure to let us know on your child's profile if they have any medical needs we should be aware of. Please include food allergies as we occasionally serve our kids a special snack (we do our best to advise parents on the day this happens).
Snacks: Our baby and Toddler rooms will be offered a snack, if the parent permits. Please note on their profile under "notes" if you would not like them to be given a snack and if they have any allergies.
Safety Procedures: If you would like to know more about our safety procedures and protocols, you can check out our Volunteer Handbook.
Mothers Lounge: A privet quiet room is available on Sunday mornings for mothers of crying babies and those who are nursing. Located in the Summit Kids hallway, the Mothers Lounge provides sound of the gathering, a comfortable chair as well as a changing table.
