GATHER KIDS
Your Kids are wanted & Welcome at The Gathering Place
Whether it’s Sunday gatherings or events for the family, we want to be a community of support, friendship, and spiritual growth for kids, teens, and those raising them.
KIDS CLASS
Let us be clear: kids are welcome in worship! We believe it’s important for children to experience worshipping with the body of Christ - because they are a part of that too!
We also know that kids can experience faith formation in an environment geared to their age and development.
On Sundays, bring your 4 year-old through 5th grader to the conference room for Kids Class! Check your kids in with one of our screened Kids Ministry volunteers.
In Kids Class, your child will hear Bible stories, sing songs, and do hands-on arts, crafts, and so much more fun!
Our teachers escort kids back to their families in worship for communion and the closing songs. A Kids Class volunteer will meet you at the door after worship to sign your child out.
There’s a nursery on Sundays!
Infants through 4 year olds are welcome in our nursery. Please provide a diaper-bag for infants and extra pull-ups for toddlers not yet potty-trained.
If you are interested in volunteering in the nursery please email our ministry coordinator, Macon Armistead, at marmistead@firstunited.org or click the link below
