RedeemerKIDS

 

Partnering With Parents

Our goal in RedeemerKIDS is to help children become transformed disciples who are dependent, resilient, and sent. In other words, to become changed followers of Jesus who see their continual need for him, build their life on him as their sure foundation, and participate in the mission of making disciples that Jesus calls all Christians to. We long to see our children come to know and love Jesus and his Word.

We have classrooms at both services* for 1 year olds through 5th graders. Every week our children hear how the Bible points to Jesus, pray together, practice memory verses, build relationships with peers and leaders, and have fun! 

*For the months of June and July RedeemerKIDS is only open at the 8:30 service.

Our Classrooms

  • Babies & Toddlers

    Our Sanctuary has an extra classroom at the 8:30 service. You can see the classroom breakdown below. Babies and toddlers are usually dropped off in their classrooms right before service starts and picked up after communion.

    8:30 Service Classrooms
    - 9 months-18 months
    - 18 months-2 years
    - 3-4 years

    10:30 Service Classrooms
    - 1 year
    - 2-3 years

    We also have a private Nursing Mother’s Room across the hall from our sanctuary classrooms

  • Pre-K through 5th Grade

    Before the service starts, our PreK through 5th graders can “pre-check in” with their classroom teachers in the foyer of the sanctuary. They then attend the beginning of the adult worship service in the sanctuary with their families. We love having this time where the young and old are all together worshiping God through music.

    After worship through music, PreK-5th graders are dismissed to meet their leaders in the lobby then walk together to Luther Hall for RedeemerKIDS. 

    Classroom Breakdown
    - PreK-K
    - 1st-2nd Grade
    - 3rd-5th Grade

Our babies and toddlers meet in the basement of our sanctuary building. They utilize a Bible called The Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible as they hear a Bible story every week. In addition, our littlest kids practice memory verses, hear songs of truth, have prayer time, eat snacks*, and have lots of fun playing! 

*We serve cheerios and water most weeks and occasionally a special snack like animal crackers or fruit snacks. Any snack other than cheerios will be communicated with parents ahead of time. Children with allergies can wear an “Allergy Alert” sticker available at our check-in stations.

Babies & Toddlers

You will need to register your children through our check in system, Church Center. Each child receives a tag with a security code that corresponds to a tag that the parents use when they pick their children up after the service.

Security volunteers help make sure our classrooms are safe, and all volunteers are required to undergo background tests and safety trainings.

A volunteer will help you register for the first time when you arrive, or you can create an account and check your child in beforehand.

Register for Church Center

Once you arrive to the sanctuary building, head downstairs to the KIDS check in stations. Once there, you can create an account or simply check in and receive your security stickers.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Our older kids head over to Luther Hall with their teachers after worshiping with their parents in the sanctuary. Once in Luther Hall, our Pre-K through 2nd graders spend time walking through The Biggest Story Bible curriculum. They learn Bible stories and how each story points to Jesus, they practice memory verses, work on activities together, pray together, sometimes do crafts, and always have fun!

Snacks are not usually offered to Pre-K through 2nd grade. We occasionally have a snack for a special occasion, but that is communicated to parents beforehand.

Pre-K through 2nd Grade

Our older kids head over to Luther Hall with their teachers after worshiping with their parents in the sanctuary. Once in Luther Hall, our 3rd through 5th graders spend time walking through The New City Catechism curriculum. They work through one catechism question each week. Additionally, they spend time in discussion, praying together, and doing activities together. Our oldest kids have a lot of fun while also working through some big questions about God, his Word, and his People.

Snacks are not usually offered to 3rd-5th grade. We occasionally have a snack for a special occasion, but that is communicated to parents beforehand.

KIDS Beyond Sundays

We also provide a few other opportunities for kids to learn, grow, and have fun beyond our Sunday services.

We host a Vacation Bible School in July during the evenings and provide dinner, games, teaching, and lots of fun to our kids and volunteers! You can find more information about VBS by checking out the Church Center events page or by emailing Katelyn Bell at kbell@rf.church

We also celebrate Christmas with our kids through a RedeemerKIDS Christmas Program! Details and sign ups to participate come out around November.
