About Us
Our goal is to create a safe, fun, relational, and intentional environment where your children can learn about Jesus at a level they can understand and relate to.
Age Range
HL Kids is available every weekend for our children ages 6 weeks through 5th grade. We also have HL Buddies for children with special needs.
HL Kids Next Steps
Here are a few next steps that you can take with your child
to develop their faith in Jesus and cultivate meaningful conversations.
Child Dedications
We invite families with children ages 0 – 4 years to participate in our child dedication services. This is a special time for families to publicly commit to lead the spiritual development of their child. Child dedications are scheduled throughout the spring and fall seasons.
HL Kids Baptisms
Baptism is the next step in your faith. It is an outward expression of an inward decision. We believe that when a child comes of age to understand these principles, baptism is a step of obedience that God has called them to. Beginning their new life in Jesus.
HL Kids FAQ
Here are some quick-to-know information
to help you and your family when you visit one of our locations.
How do I check-in my child?
On your first visit, let our greeters at the front doors know it’s your first time with us and you want to know where the HL Kids Check-in area is and they will be happy to help you!
At HL Kids Check-in, you’ll be welcomed by a HL Kids Superhero eager to meet your family. To check your child in, we’ll need some information at that time, including a family member’s name, your child’s name and birthday, your address, your phone number, and any special instructions. We’ll be there every step of the way, right up to when you drop your kids off at the appropriate room, so feel free to ask questions!
What are your safety measures?
In HL Kids, safety is our highest priority. Upon check-in, you’ll receive matching alphanumeric stickers. Your child will need to wear their name tag sticker and you will need to keep the matching tag. You must present the Security Tag at the end of service to pick up your child. For the safety and security of the children in our care, no child will be released from the classroom without the correct Security Tag. If we need to reach you during the service, we will text the number you provide during check-in.
Every HL Kids Superhero is screened, participates in a background check, and receives appropriate training from our Leaders. Additionally, our hallways are monitored by background-checked security during each experience to make sure your child stays safe and secure.
In the event that we need to contact you during the service, we can either send you a text message or display your alphanumeric code on the screen in the auditorium.
Can I come into HL Kids with my child?
You are welcome to peek in the door and check how your child is doing. But in order to be in a classroom, we require our volunteers to have a background check and interview with us. The safety of your child is of the utmost importance to us. We are careful to only allow approved volunteers with the children. If you’d like to serve in a class we would love to have you as a volunteer!
I have a child with special needs, is there anything I should know?
If you have a child with special needs who might need a little extra support to participate in HL Kids, we’d love to partner with you to make their experience amazing! Please send us an email: [email protected]
Can my child be Baptized?
As you discern if your child is ready to be water baptized, here are some questions to ask them. If your child confidently answers these questions, they are likely ready to be baptized. Take a moment to offer a prayer of gratitude for their decision to accept Christ and to be baptized. If you don’t feel your child understands what it means to be baptized just yet, it’s perfectly acceptable to wait. Use this opportunity to let your child observe water baptisms and talk to them about what it means.
Questions to Ask Your Child:
- Who is Jesus?
- What has Jesus done for us?
- When did you decide to follow Jesus?
- What does it mean to be water baptized?
- Why do you want to be water baptized?
What curriculum do you use?
Our team currently use Think Orange curriculum. This curriculum is designed to help children grow up making wiser choices, building stronger relationships, and developing a deeper faith.
They also have an app called Parent Cue designed to equip you with simple ways to make the most of the everyday moments you have with your kid—and hopefully, make the work of parenting just a little bit easier!
