Vineyard Kids
for children 0-5th grade
We believe that God works in and through kids . . . the Holy Spirit is for everyone!
What to expect
Our Sunday morning children’s ministry is designed to encourage our kids as full citizens of the Kingdom. Whether your family is visiting for the morning or attending here regularly, your kids are welcome here!
- Expect the Holy Spirit’s love, comfort, and power to be present. The Lord will move in your child’s life.
- Expect your children to be cared for by experienced teachers who love God. Our kids' area is secure, and our volunteers are vetted.
- Expect your kids to have fun! Our Vineyard Kids ministry is staffed by an extremely creative, caring and fun team.
When you arrive
Enter through our new family entrance! The lime-green doors can be found to the left of our main entrance and courtyard area on Division Street. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by our team and given a name tag for your child. You can check in your child as soon as 9:45 am before going into the sanctuary. Once checked in, the children go to the VK Lodge to play whole group games, pray for each other, and worship together. We have guest speakers from our body come and give the children a short devotion and sing Christ centered songs with them, and teens from Youth Ministries to lead them in prayer.
If your child has special needs, please tell the volunteer at the check-in station what your child may need in order to have a good experience. Be assured that your son or daughter is important to us and a valued part of our children's program; we want to provide the very best Vineyard Kids experience that we can for every child!

Fifth Sundays - Family Service
Each year, we have a handful of months with a fifth Sunday, what are we to do with our schedule?! Include our kids of course! Every fifth Sunday we have a 'family service' where kids of all ages join us in service to worship and listen in. Just in case, they are also given activity packs to entertain themselves. This occurs only 4 times a year and is always a great chance to include the kiddos in a special message. Our next fifth Sunday's are: Aug 30 & Nov 29, 2026, and Jan 31 & May 20, 2027.
Community Nights
Vineyard Kids are playing a very fun role in this Fall semester of Community Nights.
