River Kids

Welcome to River Kids

River Kids is the children’s ministry of River Hills Christian Church. We have a fun, clean, safe environment for kids to learn about God and His love for them. At River Kids, we strive to intentionally invest in the Next Generation, which is why we place a high value on ministering to all kids and families! We have designed specific and unique services for each age group so that kids will love coming to church. This will provide an awesome experience for your whole family. Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to make sure that what happens each weekend goes way beyond childcare and babysitting. Our goal is to join with parents and influence the next generation TOGETHER!

The Playhouse

An environment designed with children ages BIRTH–AGE 5 in mind.
At River Hills, we want to partner with families from the very beginning. Babies and Preschoolers are loved by the best volunteers. We know your young child is growing and learning every day! We’ve created a special environment called THE PLAYHOUSE just for them that meets them where they are. We know the early years go by fast, so our early childhood ministry leads with the end in mind. By the time a child enters kindergarten, we want them to know three basic truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Our volunteers emphasize a monthly bottom line through creative, interactive, and age-appropriate Bible stories and activities. Storytelling in this environment gives these kids their FIRST LOOK at their Heavenly Father and introduces them to the Bible.

The Clubhouse

An environment designed with your K-3rd Grade student in mind.
River Kids is preparing children for the road ahead. Kindergarten-3rd graders begin in small groups and join together in the Clubhouse for a fun, age-specific Large Group worship service which includes singing, interactive Bible stories, and scripture memorization. After the Large Group, students return to their original small groups for more learning. During Small Group students will participate in age-appropriate activities that will reinforce the Bible Point for the day. Our 252 Basics Curriculum encourages our kids to learn to TRUST God No Matter What, Make A Wise Choice, and Treat Others The Way They Want To Be Treated. These 3 Basic truths are outlined in the Book of Luke. ”And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.” Luke 2:52

We continue to use our 252 Basics Curriculum which encourages our kids to learn to TRUST God No Matter What, Make A Wise Choice, and Treat Others The Way They Want To Be Treated.

For Parents

Commonly asked questions by visiting families

WHO WILL CARE FOR MY CHILD?
All River Kids leaders have been strategically placed by an application and background check process. Our leaders have a heart for children and are excited about investing in the next generation.

HOW DO I CHECK MY CHILD IN/OUT?
First Time Visit?  From the moment you pull in the parking lot, you’ll notice lots of friendly faces eager to show you the way. Your first stop when you arrive is the new family check-in area in the lower level of our campus. In order to best serve you, we’ll take some time to get to know you.  We’ll ask about allergies, make sure we know what your child likes to be called, and collect your contact information. Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. If for any reason we need to reach you during service, we will send you a quick message letting you know that you’re needed.  This sticker is also what you’ll use to pick-up your child after service. 

WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD EXPECT ON SUNDAY MORNING? 
At River Kids your child will experience exciting worship, engaging teaching, and compelling community through our small groups! Every element of River Kids is designed to help your child worship God in community. They will dive into God’s Word, be challenged, and have a great time!

After checking in, you will drop off your child in the age-appropriate classroom.  After service is over, you will pick up your child from the same area you dropped them off. Please remember to bring your parent sticker which you received at check-in for pick up.
