Welcome Parents

We love having guests and want your first experience at Lighthouse Kids preschool to be awesome! Lighthouse Kids exists to come alongside families as they raise their children to know, love and serve the Lord. Our goal for children is to come to faith in Jesus Christ, grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ and go out into the world with the light of Jesus Christ. We value families, age-appropriate Bible teaching, small groups, safety and fun.

Lighthouse Kids?

We know your child is going to love coming to church! If you are planning your first visit, we want you to know that safety is one of our values.  All volunteers complete an application, reference check, background check and training in LHK policy and procedures.

Think you want to volunteer in our preschool?

While you might be too old to come for the activities, there’s no age limit on our volunteers! Our volunteers go through training and a background check process, before being placed into one of our kids’ classrooms. If you want to learn more or are ready to sign up, fill out the interest form!

What to Expect

The first time your child participates in weekends at Lighthouse Kids, we suggest arriving 15 minutes before the service starts. When you arrive, stop by the Lighthouse Kids check-in area to get your kids registered located in the lobby of the church. Once you are registered, your child will receive a name tag with a number on it. Parents will be given a pickup ticket with the same number. Parents: this ticket will be used to match your ticket with your kids ticket number at pick up.

Once you have checked your child in, make your way to the Preschool area. A LHK team member will help direct you to the age-appropriate room. Kids will spend time in small group and then go to large group. During large group, our preschoolers will worship by singing songs and hear a Bible story. After large group, the kids will head back to small group for activities and a craft to further reinforce the Bible story. Once the service is over, parents need to pick up their child. Don’t forget to show your pickup ticket!
