Sauldam Kids is designed specifically for children from infancy through 5th grade. We have a well-trained staff and exciting programs each week.
Vision
At Sauldam Kids we want to partner with parents in raising life-long disciples of Jesus — rooted in God’s Word, loved deeply, and consistently nurtured with the truth of the gospel.
Mission
We exist to lead children into a growing relationship with God by teaching them who He is, grounding them in the truth of His Word, and pointing them to the saving work of Jesus Christ.
Parking
If you and your kids are joining us for Sunday school (10:00 a.m.), the best place to park is the left side of the church — the playground side — and enter through the door under the portico.
If you come first for the worship service (11:00 a.m.), you can park on either side of the church and enter through the front doors, right under the steeple.
Check-in
At Sauldam Kids, we prioritize your child’s safety and security. All of our kids team members have passed background checks and received training on our sticker identification system. On your first visit, you will be guided through filling out a form with basic information about your child, and one of our kids team members will help get that information into our computer system, which prints unique identification stickers for you and your child. Your child will wear his or her sticker someplace visible and you will keep your portion of the sticker with you.
Check-out
At check-out, parents or guardians will need to provide the matching identification sticker in order to receive their child. Go directly to your child’s classroom and give the teacher your sticker, and they will match it with your child’s before you leave. Our hallways can be congested at this time — please be patient with our teachers as we help every family check out smoothly.
Teaching and curriculum
Babies and toddlers (birth–2 years) have a safe space to play and explore during both the Sunday school and worship hours. Our team loves to rock, sing to, play with, and pray over our littlest ones. We also have a private mother/baby room with chairs and a changing table off the fellowship hall for nursing mothers.
Preschoolers (3–5 years) have an age-specific lesson using The Gospel Project curriculum, and apply the lesson through engaging activities and worship during both the 10:00 and 11:00 hours. Weather permitting, this class gets to enjoy the outdoor playground. A small snack is offered during the worship hour.
Early elementary (kindergarten–2nd grade) also have an age-specific lesson using The Gospel Project curriculum, with activities and worship during both hours, the playground when weather permits, and a snack during the worship hour.
Late elementary (3rd–5th grade) are in a unique stage as they transition toward adolescence. We help foster that transition with an age-specific Gospel Project lesson during the Sunday school hour, with discussion and activities, and then incorporate them into the regular worship service at 11:00.
Kids Church
Sauldam Kids Church is a special Sunday morning group where kids hear Bible stories, make simple crafts, and are encouraged in their relationship with God — often their first understanding of the gospel. Every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening we spend time sharing God’s Word with children and students in age-specific teaching environments. Making disciples of the next generation is a priority for us, and we want to walk with you to change the future one life at a time.
