Children’s Ministry at Brookside

Bring your kids

The goal of children’s ministry at Brookside is to raise children who treasure Christ and love all people. As one family, we strive to provide the best environment and training for our children to grow in Christ and develop positive relationship.

Sunday during the 10am service

Our classrooms are separated by age and grade:

Nursery

Birth – 2 years

Preschool

Ages 3 – 4

Early Elementary

Kindergarten – 2nd grade

Late Elementary

3rd – 5th grade

Check-in procedure

Check-in for all children begins at 9:40am. Parents may drop off nursery or preschool-aged children for class at check-in. Elementary-aged children (K–5th grade) will accompany you into the sanctuary, then be dismissed during the service.

Pick-up

Parent/Guardian pick-up is after the service.

Our desire is that children don’t see the Biblical stories as disconnected tales with little moral lessons, but individual parts of Scripture in light of the larger narrative of God’s plan of redemption through Christ. The Bible says, “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field” (Matthew 13:44). Our hope is that the children of Brookside grow to learn, understand, and treasure Christ for the rest of their lives.
