jkids - children's ministries

JKIDS is a safe and fun environment for kids Birth-5th grades. Through age-appropriate environments, kids engage with the gospel in ways that brings the Bible to life and makes it relevant for them right where they are!


Safety

Your child's safety is very important to us here at Journey Church. All JKIDS volunteers have successfully passed a background check and our Safety Team does a tremendous job of keeping our kids safe.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) ABOUT JKIDS

  • On Sunday mornings, your kids will learn about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit through incredible Bible stories.  The Bible is the most amazing book ever written, and we strive to bring its stories to life through creative activities and discussions that keep kids engaged. We want every child to love God 's Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives. We know they'll have fun each week as they learn about who God is through games, activities, small groups, and video teaching. 

  • Absolutely! Our room environments and lessons are designed to help your child grow with kids in the same age group. We're passionate about supporting them in each stage of life, so we provide JKIDS options from birth-5th grade during all of our weekend experiences. Students in 6th-8th grade are invited to our Sunday morning youth experience, Launch Point. When you commit to attending the same service each week, your child will be surrounded by a small group full of familiar faces. As kids build relationships with leaders and other children, they gain the support and confidence to grow in their faith. 

  • On your first visit, look for the JKIDS Check-In area (to the right as you enter the front doors). If you can't find it, one of our team members will be happy to help you! At our JKIDS Check-In, you'll be welcomed by a JKIDS team members eager to meet your family and show you how JKIDS works. We'll be there every step of the way, right up to when you drop your kids off at the appropriate room, so feel free to ask questions!


    If this is your first time visiting Journey Church, we encourage you to pre-register your child. We'll need some information at that time, including a family member's name, your address, phone number, email, your child's name and birthday, and any special instructions.

  • In JKIDS, safety is one of our highest priorities. That's why we have a secure check-in system. Upon check-in, you'll receive matching identification stickers. Your child will need to wear their name tag sticker and you will need to keep the matching tag. After the service, you'll show the JKIDS leader your matching tag in order for your child to be released from their room. Every JKIDS volunteer leader is screened, participates in a background check, and receives appropriate training from our staff. Additionally, our hallways are monitored by our background-checked safety team during each experience to make sure your child stays safe and secure. In the event we need to contact you during the service, your child's identification code will appear on the screen in the auditorium. One of our safety team members will meet you and walk with you to your child's room.
