Sonrise Kids' Programs
Sonrise Kids Sunday's
On Sundays at 9:00 AM & 10:40 AM, the Sonrise Kids program creates a joyful space for kids—from newborns to 5th graders—to encounter Jesus, sing, play, and learn together. We partner with parents to build authentic faith and character, teaching a new Bible story each week and giving kids something exciting to look forward to each service.
Wednesday Kids Nights
Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM, kids get together for a fun, mid-week experience where they worship, learn, and grow in community. Through games, a Bible story, and age-appropriate activities, children from infants through 5th grade dive into truth in a lively environment that helps faith hit home mid-week.
Child Dedication
We believe children are a gift from God. Child dedication is an opportunity to commit your child to the Lord and invite your church family to partner with you in raising them in faith.
