At LFC Kids, we don’t just believe kids are the church of the future. We believe they’re very much the church of today! We’re not just training them to be Christians someday, but discipling young Christians now as they seek to make a very real impact for Jesus in the world around them.

Our mission is to help kids:

Belong – Kids need a place to feel safe and accepted. We seek to help kids connect with peers and mentors alike so that they recognize their place as a core part of our faith family. 

Believe – In their formative years, we want to take every opportunity to disciple our kids. We seek to show them to Jesus through intentional teaching and relationships so that they take ownership of their faith and call Jesus Lord.

Become – Just like adult Christians, kids are growing in Christlikeness. No matter where they feel led in life, we want to help kids see that Jesus belongs in the center of that path. Whatever they become, we first and foremost want them to be Christian!

Sunday Mornings - 9 & 10:30 AM

We love to be together during worship. We also recognize opportunities for kids to grow and worship in dedicated spaces designed just for them. With that in mind, our worship services make room for both!

Nursery
During our Sunday morning worship service, we offer a nursery for children ages 2 and under. However, if you’d like to keep your kids with you for the music portion of the service, or if you don’t feel ready to drop them off anywhere yet, they are absolutely welcome to join us in the sanctuary for worship. We welcome wiggles and whispers!

Preschool
We also offer a preschool class for kids ages 3 through 5 (but not yet in Kindergarten.) They will worship with you through the music portion of the service and then will go to the preschool class following the kids blessing which takes place after the prayer time.

Children’s Church
Our kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade will start each service with us in the sanctuary. We have an opportunity to be together as families every single week, and we treasure this time! During the first Sunday of each month, these kids will stay in the service with us the entire time. We believe these opportunities to worship intergenerationally help make the church who we were meant to be!

Most other weeks, kids will be dismissed after the music parts of worship to head to Kids Worship, where they’ll continue with a sermon and teaching time geared just toward them! We have a team of dedicated volunteers and pastors ready to lead them!

Check-In
Please take a moment to check your kids in at one of our iPad check-in stations. If you’re visiting for the first time, it’ll take just a moment to input a little bit of family info, and then you’re all set!

Wednesday Nights - 6-7:30 PM

On Wednesday nights throughout the school year our kids gather in Grow Groups at the church. Each group, early childhood through 5th grade, follows the same curriculum as we dive into the biblical stories that shape us, get to know who Jesus is, and grow in our Christian relationships with one another. Nursery is also available on Wednesday nights. Make sure you get your kids checked in at one of our iPad check-in stations! Check out the Wednesday night page for our current semester’s schedule.

Family Worship

Here at LFC, we love to worship together as families. On the first Sunday of each month, our elementary kids stay in worship with the whole church family. We believe it is valuable for the whole church to be together. On these Sundays, there will be specific elements of the service designed with our kids in mind. There will also be Engagement Bags available to offer them something do to with their hands during the sermon.

We recognize, as part of this, that our time together might be a little noisier and messier. We’re okay with this. Actually, we welcome it! It doesn’t offend God, and it doesn’t offend us. A service full of kids and families just tells us that our church is healthy and growing!

Parents/guardians: if your kids have questions during the service, answer them! There are lots of opportunities for teaching moments. If they crinkle a snack wrapper or get up for a bathroom break, it’s cool! This is a part of the whole church family being together. 

What a gift to be together!

Safe Kids

BACKGROUND CHECKS

To ensure a safe environment for your kids, we require our teachers to pass yearly background checks, attend ongoing training, and work in pairs.

CHECK-IN/CHECK/OUT

Parents are required to check-in their children at any of our electronic check-in stations each time they bring their child to Lawrence First Church. This helps to ensure that your child is safe and accounted for at all times. Upon checking in your child, a name tag label will automatically be printed with your child’s name and a random number that is unique to your family. The child’s name tag will be placed on their shirt. A second label will be printed, which you will hang onto for check-out. We ask that you please walk your child to their classroom. Upon check-out, you will show the teacher your label and that teacher/volunteer will make sure your number matches that of your child before they are officially checked out.

Complete check-in/out information is available at the Check-in Stations and if you need help there will be a volunteer available to help you through the process. To further ensure your child’s safety, please alert our Check-In Station volunteer to any allergies or existing medical conditions your child may have.

Events

Throughout the year, we will have all-church events that engage the whole family! This includes our Easter Eggstreme egg hunt, our Kickballapalooza family kickball games, our Trunk or Treat, and more! Check out the events page for what’s coming up in the life of the church!

We Want to Come to You!

We know your kids have a lot going on, and we want to be there to support them as they do what they love. If your kid plays sports, dances, does theater, sings, plays an instrument, or whatever else, we’d love opportunities to come and celebrate them. Click the button to fill out an event form and let us know what they’ve got coming up. We can’t make it to everything, but one of our pastoral team will do their best to get out and support your kids while they do what they love.
