A warm, caring space for infants and toddlers, safely outfitted to meet the unique needs of your child during these developmental years. We love to keep your little one safe and comfortable while you worship.
The River Bible Church
River Kids
We love your kids. Every weekend we provide a safe, fun environment where your child can flourish in the love of Jesus while you gather with our church family for worship.
Who We Are
Every Child Known & Loved
At The River, we believe each child is a precious and purposed gift from God, bursting with potential to be used by Him in incredible ways. Through River Kids we provide a safe environment for your child to grow in the love of Jesus and become a person who shares that love with others.
Our heart is to partner with you as you raise your child to know and love Jesus Christ.
Get Involved
Our Environments
Preschool
Ages 2 – 5
An active, hands-on experience filled with singing, dancing, silly games, colorful crafts, and lots of laughter as your child learns that God loves me, God made me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Elementary
Kindergarten – 5th Grade
Kids experience engaging worship and teaching before breaking into small groups where they connect with others, learn from leaders who love Jesus, and dive deeper into God's truth — exploring Bible stories that shape everyday life.
Parent Resources
Partnering With You
Has your child asked questions about the Gospel, or shown curiosity about baptism? We want to walk that road with you. Our team is here to encourage you and provide resources to help you disciple your child at home.
Safety First
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every volunteer completes a background check and child-safety training. Hallways are secured during services, and our matching nametag / pick-up tag system ensures children are only released to a trusted adult.
FAQ
Common Questions
This is my child's first time — what's our first step?
Welcome! Stop by our Welcome Desk when you arrive. We'll create your account in our secure check-in system, answer any questions, and walk you to your child's environment.
How do check-in and pick-up work?
Each week you'll check in your child and receive a printed nametag plus a matching Parent Pick-Up tag. Your child is only released when that matching tag is presented.
What about safety?
Hallways are secured before, during, and after every service. Every Kids volunteer completes a background check and child-safety training before serving.
What if my child needs me during service?
Each nametag has a unique 3-digit code. If your child needs you, we'll notify you right away so you can step out and meet them.
Snacks and allergies?
We provide nut-free snacks in some environments. If your child has specific allergies or needs an epi-pen / medication, let our Kids Director know so we can plan together.
Is there a space for nursing moms?
Yes — a quiet room with a live service feed is available for moms and little ones. Ask any team member and we'll show you the way.
