Creekidz check-in
Please check your child(ren) in at the CreeKidz Check In Center using the tablets provided every Sunday morning.
It helps with our records and safety protocols. If you need a hand, our team is right there to help!
For added safety, each child receives an extra security sticker at check-in. Please keep this sticker and bring it with you when picking up your child. If you don’t have your sticker, this will delay pick-up time while we verify your guardianship. At pick-up, please stay in line and allow staff to bring your child out to you.Thank you for helping us keep our kids safe!

Preschool is such a fun age as they are busy explorers and eager to learn new things! Our preschool ministry focuses on familiarizing children with Bible stories and Biblical concepts, in a fun atmosphere, using story time, music, play and crafts. They will learn 3 basic truths: God made me, God loves me and Jesus want to be my forever friend! (*Potty trained)

The eVent at 8:30 AM is for kids K-5th grade. Kids gather in "The Stadium" for a 60 minute Large Group environment. During this time, kids will learn about biblical virtues while participating in engaging activities, fun music and awesome stories from the Bible shared through video and live storytellers. This one hour event is specifically designed to engage kids in their relationship with Jesus.
Groups are divided as following: Team K1(K & 1st); Team 23 (2nd & 3rd); Team 45 (4th & 5th), and sit in special sections designated for their individual teams.
We use 252 Basics as our primary curriculum. This allows us to focus on one core value (life app, virtue) each month. We also use 252 Basics for Power Planet FX which is our family worship experience held on the second Sunday night of each month during the school year.
At 11 AM, kids ages 4 - 5th grade will gather in The Stadium for a time of music, learning and fun!
We can't wait to see you this Sunday!
