Kids

Canyon Edge

Canyon Edge Outfitters

Canyon Edge Kids is our Sunday morning children’s ministry. Children’s programming is offered at both 9:30am & 11:00am. The infant nursery (0-24 months) is conveniently located directly across from the main auditorium entrance. Classes for Pre-K-6th grade are located in our children’s area off of the Hub. We explore the story of the Bible and how it all points us to Jesus – the Savior of the world!  

Ignite

Ignite – Wednesday Children's Ministry

Ignite is our Wednesday night club program for K-6th grade students. It meets during the school year from 6:30-8pm. Most nights involve a small group teaching time, a Bible memory component and an exciting game time. The program moves from a Bible memory focus in the younger grades to practical discipleship for the 5th & 6th grade students. Upon completion of the program, students are able to profit from a daily devotional time in God’s Word, to defend their faith, to share their faith, and to prepare and present a clear Bible lesson.

Summer Fest

(*Please note, in the case of inclement weather, we will hold Summer Fest on June 28.)

Base Camp

Base Camp is our much-anticipated five-day summer ministry. It is like a high-energy Vacation Bible School mashed up with a day camp. Base Camp offers an energetic worship band, funny jokes and skits, drama, impactful Bible lessons, small group time and awesome games. It is geared for students who will enter kindergarten through 7th grade in the fall.

Note: We anticipate that Base Camp will return in 2022.

A Note About Safety

We are very concerned about the safety and well-being of your children. All of our staff have undergone background checks and are functioning under the guidelines of our Child Protection Policy. Each child must be registered to enter our classrooms. Check in at one of the children’s ministry kiosks to print a name tag for your child and a parent tag for you. Only the person with a matching parent tag will be permitted to pick up a child after services. The numbers will change each visit. Please be sure to let our staff know if your child has any special concerns – dietary, developmental, medical, or otherwise. We will be happy to accommodate you! 

COVID Guidelines

As a church, we have made every effort to abide by the recommendations and restrictions imposed by our elected leaders as they are seeking to act for the good of the community. We also feel the weight of the Scriptural directives that charge believers to gather regularly for worship and community. We believe that God has given distinct realms of authority to both the state and the church.

We have allowed for physical distancing by offering three Sunday morning worship services (8:30, 9:30, 11:00), creating more space between rows, and providing for overflow seating in other areas throughout the facility.

We realize that many are not comfortable attending in-person gatherings. We will continue to livestream our services in order to provide biblical teaching and an element of community for our entire church family.
