Messiah Kids KID Street
At Messiah, we love walking with children on their journeys to follow Jesus. We strive to reach the lives of children through a variety of engaging activities, partnering with families to nurture children’s faith.
KID Street Sunday School
Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30 am
KID Street Sunday School meets during the 8:30 and 10:30 am worship services on Sunday mornings for children in pre-K (ages 3-5) through 5th grade. Children come together to learn about God’s amazing love found in the Bible. They take part in engaging activities to help connect God’s story to their lives.

Children begin in the worship service and are dismissed together mid-service, led by Sunday School teachers to their classrooms. Preschoolers can go directly to class before the service or when the other children are dismissed. Parents should pick up their children in their classrooms on the lower level following the worship service.
If your family prefers to worship together, infants, toddlers, children, and youth are always welcome to remain in the sanctuary.
Infants & Toddlers
Nursery during Sunday Worship Services and Wednesday Night Programming
Infant and toddler care (birth through age 3) is available on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:30 am. On Wednesday nights, the nursery may be available, with at least 2 days advanced notice – contact Kari Stern, Director of Children and Family Ministry.

Please remember to pack the necessary items that will help your child feel happy and comfortable during his/her stay with us (diapers, change of clothes, bottle or snack, blanket, special toy, etc.). Also, please give clear instructions to our caregivers so that they can best care for your baby’s needs.
Messiah Church strives to make all children feel welcome. If you have little ones with you who are not ready to visit our nursery or Sunday School rooms, please know they are always welcome in the worship services. “Busy Bags” filled with paper, crayons and a few other fun items are available at the back of the sanctuary.
