Preschoolers love stories, imagination, and opportunities to create and explore. In Little Lights, each Bible story is shared with a focus on helping children experience and understand that God loves them. Through crafts, activities, songs, and play, children have opportunities to engage with the biblical story, build friendships, and grow in awe and wonder at God’s goodness. 

Children begin the morning worshipping alongside the congregation. After the singing portion of the service, they are invited forward for a blessing before heading downstairs for their Little Lights program. 

Check-In and Pick-Up 

Before the service begins, please bring your child to the New Life Kids Check-In Booth in the main foyer. Your child will receive a name sticker, and you will receive a matching security tag for pick-up. 

Your child will then join you in the main worship service. After the singing portion, children are invited forward for a blessing before heading downstairs to Little Lights. 

At pick-up, please present the matching security tag. For your child’s safety, we require this tag before releasing them into your care. 

Supporting Your Child’s Transition 

We understand that every child and family has a different comfort level when it comes to separating on Sunday mornings. You are welcome to keep your child with you in the main service for as long as you feel is best. Little Lights is an opportunity for your child to participate in a smaller group setting when they are ready, and there is no pressure to send them downstairs before you or your child feel comfortable. 

If your child is attending Little Lights, our caregivers may contact you by text using the phone number provided at check-in if they need your assistance. We want to work alongside you to make your child’s experience comfortable, positive, and reassuring. 

Health and Safety 

We want Little Lights to be a safe and healthy environment for all our children. If your child is unwell or showing signs of a contagious illness, please keep them with you during the service until they are feeling better. 

To ensure every child receives appropriate care and supervision, we maintain safe caregiver-to-child ratios. Occasionally, this may mean we are unable to welcome additional children when our room has reached its safe capacity. We appreciate your understanding as we work to provide a safe, caring environment for every child.
