Kids and teens must be registered to participate in our programs! This needs to be done every September, but can also be done anytime of the year if you're new to our church! This is an insurance requirement for us to keep doing what we do and provides us with your family's contact information. Registration is simple and can be done using our online form. Click here to register your kids for the 2024/2025 season!
If your family is remaining at home, your kids can take part in KIDZONE online! Click HERE to go to our Google Drive where you can watch the kids videos for that week.
Alternately, you can download the Parent Cue app for Apple or the Parent Cue app for Android so your kids can watch the videos on a phone or tablet. (Please note that if your child is in Grade 6, you should enter them as Grade 5 in the app in order to access the videos)
Every Friday, we also send out a KIDZONE family email with links to the devotional sheets that reinforce what they learned in KIDZONE. Email emily@arlingtonwoods.ca to be added to that email list.
From care for the youngest ones to early sensory stimulation, our infant program is designed to introduce Jesus to this unique age group
At check-in, parents need to give us their name and cell phone number and we will send you a text if we need assistance with your little one (so be sure to keep your phone handy and on vibrate!). Reasons we contact you might involve a diaper that needs changing or if your child needs some extra attention or consolling.
If you would like to serve in the nursery on a once-a-month basis to be a blessing to parents and their little ones, contact emily@arlingtonwoods.ca. We highly encourage parents who are a part of our church and have preschoolers to consider serving in this ministry.
KidZone begins with worship, followed by a large group lesson featuring animation and drama. Small groups divided by grade provide time for discussion, prayer, and hands - on activities.
KIDS DEVOTIONAL/BIBLE RESOURCES:
Want to help your kids dig into God's Word daily? We really recommend giving some kind of incentive or reward to your kids for spending daily time reading/thinking about the Bible! Below are some helpful tools, apps, or books that we recommend you check out:
GODTIME SHEETS- As a part of our KIDZONE curriculum, we have weekly GODTIME sheets for kids! Download or print the PDF so that your kids can spend a few minutes a day reading and thinking about God's Word. We currently mail the link out in our weekly KIDZONE email, but we also usually hand these out to kids to take home when KIDZONE is in-person! The best part about the GODTIME sheets is that they follow our weekly lessons and monthly theme at KIDZONE!
KEYS FOR KIDS- This daily kids devotional is available as an app or online and can be read or listened to! Also, for kids who want a physical devotional book, you can get them sent to your child in the mail for free (First year's subscription is free and after that it's pretty inexpensive). A good tip is to read the daily Bible passage as a family, play the audio story together, and then take the time to pray about it as a family! For ages 6-12
BIBLE APP FOR KIDS- This a hit with little ones! Kids can practice reading or they can listen to the Bible story and there are also fun games and activities for them. For ages 3-7
- ONE YEAR DEVOTIONAL FOR PRESCHOOLERS (click here for example pages) For ages 2-4
- MY FIRST HANDS ON BIBLE (great for preschoolers or JK-SK, click here for example pages) For ages 3-7
- ACTION BIBLE- This comic book adaption of major Bible stories is great for older kids due to more violent depictions. (click here for Youtube trailer) For ages 8+
- MANGA BIBLE SERIES- These Japanese-style graphic novels are great for older kids. For ages 8+
