Welcome to the Kids of Hope!
Growing in FAITH ~ Living in HOPE ~ Serving in LOVE.
Cry Room
Our Cry Room is the perfect place to soothe a fussy baby or comfort an overwhelmed toddler. Equipped with a nursing chair, bassinet, a few carefully selected toys and the SOFTEST rug, it allows for you to meet all the needs of your baby.
There is even a personal restroom and changing station complete with diapers, wipes and fresh outfits for your little one!
Nursery
Bathed in the lightest pink our nursery offers a gentle welcome for your child. It is filled with cozy pillows and books which allows for the perfect spot to do a puzzle or read together. Tasteful toys have been carefully chosen to keep your little one happy and cared for. Coming soon will be seasonal toy rotations capturing your toddlers interest in a fresh and fun way throughout the year. Parents are welcome to drop their children off, or stay with their children.
Our nursery is reserved for ages 1 - 5 years.
Sunday School 9:30 AM
Sunday School is a wonderful opportunity for children to dig deeper in the Bible. They explore the Promise Land with the Israelites, sail the seas with Noah, see the miracles of Jesus with the disciples, and much more! We strive to make our Sunday School lessons captivating and memorable. Sunday School is held at 9:30 -10:00 each week and is currently available for grades K – 6th.
Early Release

At 4:00 parents are invited to join us for closing and worship. Pick up is at 4:15 and bussing is available upon request for parents unable to pick up their children. Sign up through your local school. Grades K - 7th
Mini Missions
NEW TO HOPE! Coming January 2024!
Mini Missions are an exciting way to get your children involved in serving. Once a month your child may be invited to go on a “Mini Mission”. This is a fieldtrip usually held during Early Release that brings the kids out into the community to serve in some capacity. From delivering Valentines to washing windows, the kids will discover the joy that comes from serving others. Parents will need to sign a permission slip to allow their child to go on a “Mini Mission”. The outing will be supervised by 2 or more chaperones.
Coffee Hour 10:00 - 10:30
Coffee hour is a special time of relationship building within the church for both kids and adults. Your children can enjoy a snack and we even have hot chocolate available upon request! We also have a Youth room open during this time for all ages to enjoy which has a ping pong table and kid friendly activities.
