Providence Kids Ministry (PKM) exists so kids can find community, know Jesus better, and make an impact for Christ in their spheres of influence. Kids meet in environments run by trusted volunteers who become people of influence in their lives as they begin their walk with God.

 

Nurseries

Our baby nursery is for children ages 0 through 2 years old. Music, snuggles, and play are provided by trained volunteers for the entire duration of both of our services. Our baby nursery is in the main building of our campus. One of our greeters can escort you there!

 

Kids' Worship

We believe in the power of multigenerational worship. For this reason, kids begin 8:30 and 11 AM services worshipping with their families. Sometime during our service, they are dismissed to Kids' Worship. Kids’ Worship is held in the Adventure Building and includes games, worship, scripture memory, Bible stories, and free play time. Children must be escorted to the Adventure Building before the sermon and picked up after service has ended.

 

Bible Classes

Bible classes are held for all ages at 10am. Check at the Welcome Desk for current room assignments.

Visiting? Here's what you need to know:

 

Safety

Safety is of the utmost importance to us. All of our staff and volunteers have gone through the Safechurch program to ensure that your child is safe at all times.  This includes background checks, reference checks, a minimum tenure of six months, personal interviews, and training prior to serving with children.

 

Sunday Check-In

You will register your children at our check in station. You will receive three stickers (two if not checking into the nursery). One for you, one for any diaper bags or backpacks, and one for your child. The barcodes on your stickers will match and you will need to bring your sticker to pick your child up from class or nursery.

 

Prefer to Keep your Baby with You? 

We have two nursing rooms in our main building. One is in the back of our auditorium. This room has one way windows so you can see into service but your privacy is protected. Rocking chairs, snacks, a refrigerator, blankets, diapers and wipes, and a changing table are provided. There is also a nursing room inside the baby nursery. This room has rocking chairs and a changing table as well. 

 

456: 4th-6th grade

The goal of 456 is to provide community and age appropriate teaching to our preteens while preparing them to transition into youth ministry. 456ers have their own dedicated Bible classes at 10 AM on Sunday mornings. We believe 4th graders are more than capable of beginning to form habits of worship in “big church”. To encourage engagement and participation, we provide kids bulletins for this age group. You can find them at the check-in desk in our lobby. Kids are invited to fill them out and turn them back in with their name on them. Once per quarter, Ms. Emily draws one for an Amazon gift card.

 

456 joins the youth group once per month from 5-7 PM for dinner, games, and Bible Study. Contact Ms. Emily for dates!

 

456ers also enjoy their own spring retreat, engage in Vacation Bible School, and are invited to attend Palmetto Bible Camp.

 

We look forward to getting to know you. For more information, please contact Emily Welfare at ewelfare@prcoc.org.
