Why we're here

Church should be one of the best parts of their week.

We believe kids aren't just the church of tomorrow. God wants to know them, speak to them, and work through their lives right now.

That's why Total City Kids is about more than childcare during the adult gathering. Every environment is intentionally designed to help kids connect with God in a way they can understand.

Through Biblical teaching, music, activities, prayer, and relationships with caring leaders, we want your kids to have fun while building a foundation of faith that can last a lifetime.

Pastor Mikayla

Knowing God

We want kids to know that God loves them, that they can have a real relationship with Jesus, and that they can learn to recognize His voice in their lives.

Biblical Truth

We teach the Bible in creative, age-appropriate ways that help kids understand God's Word and begin applying it to everyday life.

A Place to Belong

Church should be a place where kids are known, loved, and excited to come back. We create opportunities for friendships and relationships with consistent leaders.

Fun!

Following Jesus is full of joy. Games, creativity, music, activities, and plenty of fun are intentionally built into every Sunday.

Safety

From secure check-in and pick-up to trained and background-checked leaders, our systems create an environment where parents can feel confident and kids can thrive.

Age Groups

Made for every stage.

Each Total City Kids environment is designed around the developmental and spiritual needs of the children in it.

Your First Visit

Your first Sunday, made simple.

Visiting somewhere new with kids can feel like a lot. We want to make your first Sunday as easy as possible.

1

Start at Kids Check-In

One of our team members will register your family, answer questions, and show you where your child's room is. Pre-register before you arrive to make Sunday even easier.

2

Receive Your Security Tags

Your child receives a name tag and you'll receive a corresponding parent security tag. Keep it with you for pick-up.

3

We'll Help You Find Their Room

Our team will show you exactly where to go and help make your child's transition as comfortable as possible.

4

Enjoy the Gathering

Head into the auditorium knowing your child is cared for. If your child needs you, our team has a system to contact you.

5

Pick Up

Return to the Kids area with your parent security tag. Our team will verify it before releasing your child.

First-time tip: Give yourself an extra 10–15 minutes before the gathering so check-in doesn't feel rushed.

Parent Partnership

We're on your team.

β€œThe most influential spiritual leaders in a child's life aren't their Kids leaders. They're their parents.”

Our job isn't to replace what happens at home. It's to come alongside you.

We want to give your child an incredible Sunday while helping you continue the conversation throughout the week through resources, conversation starters, and opportunities that help families build faith together.

Following Jesus

When your child asks questions about Jesus or decides to follow Him, we want to help you have those conversations and celebrate.

Baptism

Our team partners with parents to help kids understand the decision they're making and what baptism means.

Child Dedication

Parents publicly commit to raising their child to know and follow Jesus while the church commits to supporting their family.
