Vertical Kids
What to Expect
We are excited to show the love of Jesus Christ to your children and teach them from God’s Word each weekend. Our ministry leaders and volunteers will welcome you and provide childcare from birth until 6th grade during our worship service.
For First-Time Visitors
The first time you bring your child or children to Vertical Church, you can register them in our computer-based, secured Vertical Kids check-in. Upon arrival, just look for the Vertical Kids check-in kiosk or ask a greeter to direct you.
Awana Clubs is a weeknight discipleship program that focuses on Scripture memorization and engaging kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Awana meets on Wednesdays nights during the school year from 6:30-8 PM. Each week kids participate in a large group Bible lesson, small group time with a consistent adult leader and their peers, Scripture memorization, and a fun game time around the Awana game circle.
If you have a child who is preschool age through Grade 6, we would love to have them join us!

Our Beginners and Preschool/Kindergarten rooms are for kids ages 2 ½ through Kindergarten. They are taught using a curriculum called Brite Preschool. Brite engages preschoolers in engaging, age-appropriate lessons that take the children chronologically through the Bible every year. The lessons help them discover who God is and teaches foundational truths for a lifelong faith. They focus each month on a “Big Question” about the character of God and a Bible memory verse.
In our Nursery and Toddler rooms, children from birth to age 2 ½ , are provided child care where they will enjoy music, short Bible stories, and guided play. Every month the Toddler teachers use a condensed lesson from the Brite Preschool curriculum to teach a “Big Truth” about who God is and also read a key Bible verse.
Our Grades 1-2 and Grades 3-6 classrooms use the Brite Elementary curriculum to engage elementary-age students with the truths of Scripture by going chronologically through the Bible every year. They participate in a large group time, followed by meaningful crafts, activities, and review games that further enhance the lesson. Each month they focus on a biblical theme about who God is and also learn a key Bible verse.
