is the children’s ministry at Rivers United Church.

We’re dedicated to partnering with parents to lead children to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. Through age-specific lessons, activities, and small groups, children ages birth-5th grade learn biblical truths and real-life lessons they can apply to their lives every week in RiverKids.

For the time being, RiverKids is only available during the 11am service.

What will my child learn in RiverKids?

The Bible is the most amazing book ever written, and we strive to bring its stories to life through creative activities and discussions that keep kids engaged. We want every child to love God’s Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives. We know they’ll have fun each week as they learn about who God is through games, activities, small groups, and video teaching.

Will my child make friends in RiverKids?

Absolutely! Our room environments and lessons are designed to help your child grow with kids in the same age group. We’re passionate about supporting them in each stage of life, so we provide RiverKids options from birth-5th grade during 11 am service. As kids build relationships with leaders and other children, they gain the support and confidence to grow in their faith.

How does RiverKids ensure my child is safe and secure?

In RiverKids, safety is one of our highest priorities. That’s why we have a secure check-in system. Upon check-in, you’ll receive matching identification stickers. Your child will need to wear their name tag sticker and you will need to keep the matching tag.

After the service, you’ll show the RiverKids leader your matching tag in order for your child to be released from their room. Every RiverKids volunteer is screened, participates in a background check, and receives appropriate training from our staff.

Additionally, our hallways are monitored by background-checked security during the experience to make sure your child stays safe and secure. In the event that we need to contact you during the service, we will send you a text message.

How do I check my child in to RiverKids?

On your first visit, look for the RiverKids’ Check-In area. If you can’t find it, one of our pastors or volunteers will be happy to help you! At Check-In, you’ll be welcomed by a RiverKids volunteer eager to meet your family and show you how RiverKids works. To check your child in, we’ll need some information at that time, including a family member’s name, your child’s name and birthday, your address, your phone number, and any special instructions.

We’ll be there every step of the way, right up to when you drop your kids off at the appropriate room, so feel free to ask questions!
