Let the Children Come…
When you walk up to our Kids Church rooms, we hope you hear giggles and all sorts of fun things happening. Every week, our team creates a space where kids from nursery to grade 6 can have fun, grow in faith, and build friendships that matter. Through worship, games, crafts, stories, and play, kids are invited to know God’s goodness and join in what He’s doing all around them. We want every child to know: you are loved and you belong here.
Kids Age Groups
Nursery - Infant to Preschool

What Sundays Look Like…
Most Sundays, kids join the adults for the music portion of worship. Then, during the coffee break, they’re prayed for and invited to head to Kids Church.
Kids Church runs for about 45 minutes and is designed to help children explore biblical truths in ways that are engaging, age-appropriate, and fun. We encourage kids who can read to bring their Bibles—and if your child doesn’t have one, just let our team know. We’d love to gift them one.
If your child prefers to stay with you during the service, that’s absolutely okay. We want every family to feel at ease.
About once per month…
About once a month, we hold a Family Sunday where kids stay with their families for the entire service. These gatherings are curated to include something for every age, creating space for all generations to worship and experience Jesus together.
Check the calendar for upcoming Family Sunday dates—we’d love to see you there.
During summer…
The Wiggle Club is a summer Sunday ministry for children when our regular Kids Ministry programming pauses.
Some children thrive in active, social, movement-oriented environments and find it challenging to stay engaged during the sermon portion of a worship gathering. Rather than viewing this as a problem to manage, we see it as an opportunity to extend hospitality and care to families.
The Wiggle Club provides a supervised, welcoming environment where children can enjoy music, games, outdoor play, friendship, and positive adult interaction while remaining connected to the life of our church.
Our hope is simple: every child and family at Lake Ridge knows they belong here. Find out more here!
Volunteering
It takes a village—and we’re so grateful for the incredible volunteers who pour love, energy, and time into our children each week. They help create a space where kids feel safe, known, and excited to grow in faith.
Because we care deeply about the safety and well-being of every child, all volunteers go through a vetting process that includes background checks and training.
If you’re interested in joining the team or just want to learn more, reach out to Sara Dyck at kids@lakeridgecommunity.com. We’d love to explore how your gifts could help shape the next generation.
