Lifehouse Kids

Welcome to our kids ministry

As Christian leaders and parents, it is both a privilege and a necessity that we share the love of Jesus with our children. We are partnering with parents to help kids develop a relationship with Christ that will compel them to become what God created them to be.

At Lifehouse we believe that each child is a unique gift from God which must be celebrated. This is shown every day in how we rejoice in God and each other! There is no shortage of God’s love, beauty, and grace as it is evident every single day through our kids!

Lifehouse Kids Core Values

Our primary focus is helping all kids to take next steps in their spiritual growth through:

- Discovering what their own next step is
- Understanding what a relationship with God looks like
- Reading the Bible & learning how to apply it to their life
- Prayer

We prioritize relational ministry - while Lifehouse Kids is a fun place, we focus on building relationships and doing life together

We provide a safe, fun community

We strive to create a team of diverse leaders to serve as role models for children

Sundays

Our Sunday worship experience begins with Praise and Worship and is filled with excitement from beginning to end. In our age-appropriate services (Nursery, PreK and K-5th), kids learn through dramas, videos, puppets, illustrations and hands-on activities how God’s Word applies to their everyday lives.

CLUB 56 | Our 5th and 6th graders get their own special club! Club 56 meets on Sundays at 10am at LHCC. They meet starting at a back table in worship. After worship ends, they move to the youth room for small group time.

Safety

Groups are supervised by 2 background checked leaders. An adult (18 or older) must be present, Middle and High School students serve as second leaders.
All kids are checked in through the Lifehouse Church Teams account by their parents. Kids receive a name tag sticker to wear, parents receive a parent sticker that must be turned in to pick up their child.
Kids spaces are in a secured area, with doors locked during programs.
All leaders are certified in CPR and First Aid.

Age Groups

Groups span two years or grade levels. This allows us to be intentional with our teaching so kids are learning at their level. Each age group’s curriculum and activities are guided by a discipleship focus and a 3C Christ follower emphasis.

Club56 (5th & 6th graders) begin service with snacks and worship in the gym. Look for them at a designated table in the back of the room. After worship, they move to an adjacent classroom for a lesson.
