kids ministry
When children encounter Jesus, the world changes!
At Antioch, we believe that family and kids are at the core of God’s heart and purpose. Our kids’ ministry is designed to create a space where kids not only have lots of fun, but also where they encounter the living God through prayer, worship and the Bible! In addition to that, we are committed to coming alongside families to help them in the complex journey of parenting.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
when will kids ministry begin on Sunday?
At the start of service (10am). Kids can be checked in upon arriving at church. Just look for the kids check-in booth! The child’s classroom will be listed on their name tag.
How often will kids ministry be available?
Every Sunday except when there’s a 5th Sunday in the month. With the current number of volunteers we are not yet able to provide Kids Ministry on the 5th Sunday. As our number of volunteers increases we will begin to offer Kids Ministry more frequently. If you don’t have a place to serve yet, we’d love for you to join us! Sign up to volunteer here.
How do I register for kids ministry?
Registration is available at the Kids Check-In station on Sunday morning. Upon registration, your child will receive a name tag with a unique code. As a parent you will receive a tag with the same unique code to be presented when you pick up your child after service.
How soon can I register?
Kids Ministry registration opens at 9:30am on Sunday mornings.
Will snacks be served in kids ministry?
Yes. Veggie straws are the typical Sunday snack. If needed, you will be able to indicate your child’s diet specification and/or allergies upon check-in.

Dedicating your child is a great way to get knit into our community in a deeper way and be equipped with some fundamental parenting lessons.
Baby Dedication is for babies through preschool-aged children. If you wish to dedicate an older child, please contact Emily Smith >
