"Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me...'"
Matthew 19:14
From newborns to fifth graders, Encounter KIDS is where faith and fun come together!
Each service is designed to be exciting, interactive, and age-appropriate—giving kids the chance to encounter God in a safe, joyful environment. Through Bible stories, games, worship, and hands-on activities, children learn how to Experience Family and Enlarge the Kingdom by growing in their understanding of God’s Word and His love.
Encounter KIDS is available during both Sunday morning services at 9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m.
We believe in partnering with families—parents, grandparents, guardians, and everyone in between—to help nurture and develop your child’s faith journey. Stay connected by signing up for our weekly Raising Disciples text and join the conversation on the Encounter Church app.

First time? Here's what to expect
Welcome!
A greeter will be stationed at the main entrance and will help direct you to our KIDS check-in area. There we will meet your family and check your child into our system. Upon checking in for the first time, we will ask for the following personal information (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone): Parent/guardian name(s), Child’s name, Child’s birthdate, Home address, Phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children.
How Check-in Works
Before Service: You can check-in your child at the check-in station. 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 and your visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you hold on to the matching tag.
During Service: Encounter KIDS will attend the family worship time in the main auditorium. The children will be dismissed from the stage and will meet the KIDS leaders at the back of the auditorium and be escorted to the children’s church room.

After Service
After the service is complete, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.
Encounter Nursery is available for newborn to 4 years old starting 15 minutes before service times on Sunday. There are two paid nursery workers, as well as other volunteers who create a safe and fun atmosphere for your kids to Encounter God, Experience Family and Enlarge the Kingdom. A nursing mother’s room with rocking chair and changing table is available for those who need one. The process to check in your nursery child is the same as the Encounter KIDS check in process.
