Midweek Programs
0-3

Nursery

We provide a safe environment for your toddlers where they hear a Bible story and enjoy play activities, books, coloring, and musical instruments!

Preschool - Kinder

Early Childhood

Toddlers enjoy a time of singing and free play, followed by an interactive Bible lesson. They also enjoy activities such as crafts, games, and snacks.


1st-5th

Sunrise

Kids worship God through drama, storytelling, and music. After worship time the kids participate in small groups and activities. Kids begin by worshipping with their parents and are dismissed during the service.


Family Sunday

On the first week of the month, we have Family Sunday. We invite our kids to stay in throughout the service.
This is also the day we take communion, and we believe in allowing children the opportunity to partake.

Packets are provided in the foyer leading to where worship takes place which your children can bring into the service.

Check in

Here at The River, we value the safety of our children! Our check-in system helps keep our kids protected.

We have two stations available for check-ins.
The first station is in the foyer which is the area in front of the sanctuary in which we worship.
The second station is right inside of the first entrance into the building from entering the parking lot.
