See how we fulfill our vision at every age and stage of a child’s development through our Ridgedale Kids Pathway

Sundays

Small Groups (9:45-10:45am)

Small groups gather in age-specific classrooms, providing a space for children to develop biblical competency while fostering meaningful relationships within the church community.

Preschool and Kids Worship (11:00am)

Preschool and Kids Worship cultivate children’s theological confidence through worship music and engaging biblical teaching connected to the Cross Formed Kids Catechism and our Family Worship Guides.

I’m New Here, How do I Check In?

  • Make your way to the Lobby at the Main Entrance through the glass doors
  • Head to the Kids Check In Desk to get your family ready for their time with our Children’s Ministry (our Hospitality Team can help you find your way there if you’re unsure about where to go)

First Family Services

On the first Sunday of every month, Kids Worship takes a break, and children are invited to join their families for the service. This Family Service offers our leaders and volunteers a well-deserved rest while allowing children to experience worship alongside multiple generations and deepen their connection with the entire family of God.

Worship packets are specifically designed and made available for children at the Sanctuary and Encounter entrances.


Wednesdays

VBX (Very Brite Xperience) 6:00-7:30pm

VBX is like VBS… but every week! During this dynamic experience, preschoolers and kids (K-5th Grade) rotate through engaging, themed stations where they sing, enjoy fun activities, and deepen their understanding of God.

How Do I Register for VBX?

  • Make your way to the Lobby at the Main Entrance through the glass doors
  • Head to the Kids Check-In Desk to get your kids ready for a great night at VBX!

VBX Family Resources

  • Keep the fun going at home with the VBX Family Calendar!
  • Discover the monthly themes and review what your children are learning each week.
  • Sing and dance along to the music from VBX!

Sensory Room

We believe that God desires for all children to learn the truths of His Word, regardless of age or ability, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment in all our classrooms. At Ridgedale, we provide a Multi-Age Sensory Room for preschool and elementary-aged children with special needs, as well as those who may need a break from overstimulation during worship services or kids’ activities.
