FAMILY MINISTRY
Welcome! We are so glad you're here. Our Family Ministry team is committed to caring
for the needs of all children and empowering them to become leaders through their God-given gifts.
Our mission is to impact the lives of children with the truth of God’s Word, the power of the Holy Spirit,
and the love of the Savior, Jesus Christ, as we partner with parents in the spiritual training of their children.
Our goal for every gathering is that children are physically safe, emotionally loved and spiritually fed.
FIRST TIME GUESTS
In conjunction with the Sunday morning worship service, we host a Nursery and Kids Church program for children 3 months - 8th grade. You can check out the age groups below to discover more details for your child’s participation. When you arrive on campus, come to our Family Ministry station, located at the covered kiosk on our central patio, to get your child(ren) checked in with their group. We look forward to meeting you!
If you are a first time guest who will be participating online, we would be happy to share our resources for Kids Church at Home.
To request these, please contact our Director of Family Ministry, Amanda.
HOPE KIDS CHURCH
Below is a list of the classes that we facilitate for Hope Kids Church during the Sunday morning worship service.
These classes will be in effect for the 2025-2026 school year (August 2025 – July 2026).
NURSERY
(3 months-36 months)
Our nursery staff provides a safe and loving environment for your baby’s care while you worship. Our care team is available 15 minutes prior to the start of service so that you can provide specific instructions for your child for that morning. We will ask for your cell number in case we need to contact you during the service.
PRESCHOOL
(3 years-TK)
This environment provides an engaging atmosphere of fun, friendship and learning for 3 - 5 year olds. The teaching and supervision of this group is conducted by Hope City Church staff members who provide a consistent and familiar atmosphere for the kids. Our goal is to partner with parents in setting a foundation of Biblical knowledge for their child and to help facilitate each child’s growing understanding of their relationship with Jesus Christ.
ELEMENTARY
(K-2nd GRADE)
In their own environment, our elementary kids explore the teachings of the Bible to establish or build on their foundation of knowledge and learn new ways to apply this knowledge to their daily lives. Guided by their group leaders, kids will participate in group activities, games, discussion and prayer. We believe that kids will get to know God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as they interact with Scripture, their leaders and with one another in this group.
PRETEEN
(3rd-5th GRADE)
According to Barna Research, the preteen years are crucial to the spiritual development of your child. As a church, we desire to partner with you as you parent your preteen. During these years, most kids undergo huge changes and challenges related to their self-image and their choices concerning morals, beliefs, relationships and life goals. It often becomes a difficult time in the relationship between parents and kids, but it is also one of the most critical times for parents to make sure they stay connected and accessible to their kids. Our goal is to provide teaching and resources for your preteen to grow in their knowledge and relationship with Jesus. This is accomplished through their interaction with their group leaders on Sunday mornings and through the weekly resources provided for your conversations at home.
