Welcome to University Kids—where we believe everyone is loved, everyone belongs, and we are all created with purpose.

Sunday Morning

On Sunday mornings, the Atrium on the South side of the campus is alive with busy little bodies and lots of energy—and we love it! If you are new, please come to the Kids Welcome Desk where staff and volunteers look forward to meeting you and your family!

Kids Sunday School is for 2-year-olds through 5th graders of all abilities. With the help of many volunteers, we utilize Lifeway’s Hyfi Curriculum in all Preschool and Elementary classes. Through 12 simple biblical truths, Hyfi guides kids to learn who they are because of who Christ is in ways that ensure a sense of belonging and acceptance.

Preschool Worship (Begins Aug 11th)

The children will receive a snack and playtime followed by a worship experience in either Preschool Music or The Chapel of the Good Shepherd. Experiences will rotate from week to week. Two-year-olds will participate based on developmental readiness and accommodation for children with special needs outside the age range is available. On the first Sunday of the month, all preschool classes will come together to have a large group worship experience where they can practice the elements of worship they have been learning.
