At Summerside, we love families and want to support and encourage them as they
Grow Together in Loving, Serving, and Learning more about Jesus and their Journey with Him
We have something offered for kids from Newborn to Grade 5 during our Worship Service…
- The Nursery is available for Infants once the kids are dismissed from the Service. If you need a quiet place for your baby, need to feed or change them, there is a room next to the nursery available.
- Children (Preschool – Grade 2) sit with their parents for the first part of the service and then they are dismissed just before the sermon to their own classes.
- Here, they will learn about Jesus as they explore the Bible with stories, games, and crafts.
- Parents are to pick up their children from their classes immediately after the service.
- Grade 3 – 5 Come by the Kids’ Check-In area and pick up your Sermon Notes page for the service. Fill it out during the service by listening to our Pastors and taking notes as best you can
If your child is feeling restless and needs a break at any point during the service, please feel free to take them to the foyer to move around a bit. You can still continue to hear, and see, the service from there.
At Summerside, we are committed to providing a safe place for children/youth to learn about Jesus and to grow in their walk with him. As such, we require all of our volunteers in children’s/youth ministry to provide us with a current police records check and to read and uphold our Child Protection Policy. You can download a copy of this policy here. Child Protection Policy
Below, you will find the ministries we have here which are intended to help parents as they raise their children to embrace a life of faith:
