It Takes a Village

We partner with families to raise kids who love, follow, and share Jesus.

Our Children’s Ministry Values

At Reality, we are committed to creating a nurturing environment rooted in Christ-centered values that guide how we serve and care for each child. We embrace humility by learning from one another and striving to love as Christ loves us. With faith, we trust in Jesus, confident that He is at work in everything we do. Out of love, we dedicate ourselves to helping others experience the fullness of God’s affection. Our ministry is a place of safety, where physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being are prioritized, allowing each child to feel free to be themselves. And finally, we celebrate joy, delighting in the knowledge that our heavenly Father is always with us.

Sundays in The Village

Each Sunday morning, our children have a time of worship, teaching, sharing, learning, and praying in the presence of the Holy Spirit. The rhythm of the day is uniquely catered toward each age group.

Check-in opens 15 minutes prior to the main service start time.

PreK 1 (2.5–3.5 years)

Volunteers Who Are Invested

We call ourselves “The Village” because we believe that faith in Jesus becomes captivating for young people when they witness the passion of a wide variety of believers in community, empowered by the Holy Spirit to embody the Gospel. And while your child’s most significant relationship is with you at home, they have a better chance of understanding life-changing truths when multiple influences are all reinforcing the same thing. That’s why our volunteers are trained and equipped to share the love of Jesus and embody God’s delight in every child. Our volunteers are like shepherds and mentors for our kids, desiring to see each child grow in their love for Christ.

Safety is Our Priority

We ensure every child’s safety and security under our care through multiple security systems. All of our volunteers are cleared through background checks and given classroom safety training. Additionally, we have an easy check-in platform that you sign into each time you attend church. All parents/guardians are given a security sticker when checking their children into The Village and must present it upon picking up their child. No child will ever be released without the parent/guardian presenting the security sticker.

Family Room

During our services, we provide space for parents with young children to watch a video feed of the main service while tending to their children. The Family Room is located just outside the Sanctuary, and an additional space is located in the Lounge behind the Children’s Check-in.
