A Gift from God
We know that children are a gift from the Lord (Psalms 127:3) and that parents are responsible for discipling them in the truth of God's Word (Deut 6:4-9). It is our prayer that your children will learn to love and walk closely with Jesus and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with you as you disciple your children. In addition to equipping you to be the parents God wants you to be, we hope to provide a safe, fun, and gospel-centered environment for your kids to learn about Jesus every Sunday morning. Our Y has an amazing KidZone & classrooms which we make full use of every Sunday morning.
Field Training
Our Sunday Morning Field Training offers age appropriate discipleship classes for kids and adults alike at 8:45am on Sundays. Kids classes range from birth to 6th grade (we also have a youth class available). Each class is focused on teaching the Bible in fun and engaging ways so that the gospel message will come off the page and impact their life throughout the week.
- Birth (2 months) - 2 years (Kidzone)
- 3's, 4's, 5's, & K (Kidzone)
- 1st-3rd grade (Community Room A)
- 4th-6th grade (Community Room B)
Check-In & Security
Children can be checked in as early as 8:30am. First-time guests: please come early so we can get your families info and everyone to class on time.
Check-in takes place at the welcome desk just inside the main entrance of the YMCA. We have a secure check-in and check-out process that will ensure your child’s safety while they are at The Fields. There is a registration computer at the welcome desk where you will be able to print security stickers for you, your child, and their bag with corresponding numbers, as well as allergy alerts. Additionally, all of our volunteers and staff have completed a thorough background check and awareness training through Ministry Safe.
Once checked in, we will direct you to the appropriate classes so you can drop off your kids. All kids and adult Field Training classes last an hour. When class is over at 9:45am, please go back to your kids classes and present your security tag to pick up your kids. (There is extended childcare for kids birth-kindergarten in the Kidzone during the service.) After that, make your way to the gym for our weekly worship gathering at 10am.

Curriculum
We are currently using The Gospel Project which takes kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Kids discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. We believe that when kids truly experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. After all, it is the gospel, not good behavior, that changes everything! Click here to see the 3 year plan.
Family Worship
After our Field Training classes, school-aged kids (1st-grade and older) are dismissed to worship with their parents during our worship gathering. Childcare is available for Birth-K. However, we encourage Kindergarten parents to use this year as a transition year to bring your child into the service regularly. We have tables for families and coloring pages for kids to help them engage during the service. We want our children to begin singing, praying, and hearing the Word with us each and every Sunday.
