New to Lovers Lane KIDS?

Sundays are a special time for kids, with fun games, praise music, and faith lessons. They'll gather in small groups and participate in energetic larger group activities. Each age level's spiritual formation encompasses memory verses, prayer, and active steps to follow Jesus.

Absolutely! Our room environments and lessons are tailored to help your child thrive with kids in their same age group. We are passionate about supporting them through each stage of life, offering options from infants to 6th grade during Sunday worship.

When you commit to attending the same service every week, your child will be in a small group with familiar faces. Building relationships with leaders and other children will give them the support and confidence to grow in their faith.

On your first visit, look for the Lovers Lane KIDS signs near the Spire Coffee Shop. If you can’t find it, one of our pastors or volunteers will be happy to assist you!

At our KIDS Welcome Center, a Guest Services teammate will help you register your child and take them to their assigned classroom. To register your child, we’ll need some information, including a family member's name, your child's name, current grade, your address, your phone number, and any special instructions. We'll be with you every step of the way, right up to when you drop your kids off at the appropriate room, so don’t hesitate to ask questions!

Safety is one of our highest priorities. Upon check-in, you'll receive matching identification stickers. Your child will need to wear their name tag sticker and you will need to keep the matching tag. After the service, you'll show the KIDS leader your matching tag in order for your child to be released from their room.

Every KIDS volunteer leader is screened, participates in a background check, and receives appropriate training from our staff. Additionally, our hallways are monitored by background-checked security during each experience to make sure your child stays safe and secure.

KIDSing is Lovers Lane’s children’s choir, where elementary students discover God’s love through the joy of music.
