Local Kids: Sundays at 10:30am in Midlothian
Local Kids runs during our 10:30am service every Sunday at Midlothian Middle School, 13501 Midlothian Turnpike, Midlothian VA.
First time here?
We have a check-in area in front of the kids' entryway. We will have a very quick registration process and assign your child to the appropriate classroom. Then, you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code. If for any reason we need to reach you during the gathering, you'll receive a text message on your phone. This sticker is also what you'll use to pick up your child after gathering.
Feel free to pre-register your kid(s) now. We will have your kids' name tags ready for you once you arrive.
BIRTH - 2 YEARS
In our Nursery, you will find safe, age-appropriate toys and equipment. Our nursery volunteers are passionate leaders who pray and play with babies while you experience service.
Sundays, 10:30am
2 YEARS - PRESCHOOL
We believe that it’s never too early to share the love of Jesus! In our Preschool room we bring the fun through age-appropriate lessons, games, crafts and worship. Your preschooler will feel loved and learn something new each Sunday as they build relationships and engage in a worship experience that was specially designed just for them!
KINDERGARTEN - SECOND GRADE
Our Lower Elementary classroom is a nurturing space where young children discover God's love through age-appropriate Bible stories, interactive lessons, fun worship and crafts. Designed to spark curiosity and creativity, this class encourages children to explore their faith in a warm and welcoming environment.
THIRD - FIFTH GRADE
Our Upper Elementary classroom fosters a deeper understanding of God’s Word through engaging Bible lessons, group discussions, worship and hands-on activities. Tailored to meet the needs of growing learners, this class emphasizes building strong faith foundations, critical thinking, and meaningful connections with friends.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
SAFETY
Safety is one of our highest priorities. Every time you check your kids in you’ll receive a unique parent identification tag that corresponds to your child’s tag. Additionally, every Local Kids Team member is screened and participates in a background check.
CREATIVE BIBLE TEACHING
Bible stories and spiritual truths will come to life through skits, activities, and discussions. It’s our goal that kids learn to love God’s Word and understand the value of applying it to their lives.
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS
When kids have a blast at church, they can’t wait to come back! You can be sure that your kids will have fun building relationships with the kids in their class and their teachers!
WHAT SHOULD I BRING FOR MY CHILD?
Bring whatever you would normally bring for a daycare drop-off. At check-in you get a printed badge with a matching code. Keep it, because that badge is how we release your child back to you.
WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS ALLERGIES?
Tell the Local Kids Team at check-in. We would rather know before the service starts than find out during it.
