Woodlawn Kids

Woodlawn Kids (Birth-5th grade) exists to REACH students with the Gospel, CONNECT students with other students and leaders, INVEST in their spiritual growth, & LAUNCH faithful servants of Jesus Christ.



Sunday Services


Nursery

We provide a nursery for children aged 3 months to 5 years during the 9 AM and 10:15 AM services. Our nursery is equipped to offer a nurturing and safe environment for your little ones while you attend the service.


Children's Church

For Kindergarten through 5th grade children, we have a dedicated children's church during our 8:30 AM service at Sharkey's and at 10:15 AM at the Alf Coleman Campus. The children will join the main congregation for worship and are dismissed to their own program just before the sermon starts.


Family First Sunday

On the first Sunday of each month, we host Family First Sunday, where children in Kindergarten through 5th grade participate in the main service with their families. It's a wonderful opportunity to worship together and partake in communion as a family unit.


Additional Programs


Wednesday Night Kids

We also have a Wednesday Night Kids small group for children Ages 3 years old through 5th grade. Check-in begins at 5:15 PM, and pick-up is at 7 PM. This mid-week program offers additional opportunities for spiritual growth and community building.


Crafts at the Park

A monthly event at Frank Brown Park featuring a themed craft that is engaging and easy for young children. We meet at 10:30 on a designated Wednesday morning. Check out our Woodlawn Kids social media and subscribe to the Weekly Newsletter for updates on dates and activities.
